Still Winter, again


The weather is bitter cold.  True, this photo is from a week ago and there is no snow right now.  However, today the temperature barely rose above zero degrees and the forecast is for "wintry mix."  I want spring.

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day


The weather yesterday was perfect for the parade to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.  Today, the Catholic church feast day of St. Patrick, it is cold, foggy, rainy.   The traditional meal of corned-beef and cabbage is perfect.
