Picture Postcards ~ Middle March

March 11 - Coffee and cheesecake at Poet's 
Courthouse Square wet and rainy painted with Brushstroke
Rainbow-colored pavement outside MickyD's
March 12 - Snowy day Cold North windy day
Every time


March 14 - Pi Day - Or Pie Day as we like to think of it - an excuse to indulge in a circular frozen sweet treat from the DQ (MM Treatzza Pizza!)

"The constant pi, denoted , is a real number defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter
It has been represented by the Greek letter "π" since the mid-18th century, though it is also sometimes spelled out as "pi". Being an irrational number, π cannot be expressed exactly as a common fraction (equivalently, its decimal representation never ends and never settles into a permanent repeating pattern)."
Math was never my thing.
Don't say I never taught ya nothin'

March 16 - made it pop with a filter in Snapseed
March 17 - Saint Paddy's Day - The story goes that wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns, who will pinch only those they can see - Knox was safe - Grandpa not so much -
Nice to have a helper to do the yard work hard work

March 21 - First full day of Spring - yep, it snowed ....
.... but it was all gone by sunset

December days were brief and chill,
The winds of March were wild and drear,
And, nearing and receding still,
Spring never would, we thought, be here.
~Arthur Hugh Clough (1819–1861)

SPRING ARRIVED FIVE DAYS AGO, BUT WINTER DID NOT GET THE MEMO!

We had snow flurries off and on all day here. But this afternoon, it really turned loose. I happened to glance out the window and was surprised to see nothing but a wall of white.

Squirrel got caught in the flash blizzard but decided the sunflower seeds were worth it.

Here in middle Tennessee, we can pretty much count on snow on the buttercups.

It was awesome while it lasted.

Our mini blizzard lasted for about two minutes, then left as quickly as it came. Sun came out ~ melted the snow. Nothing to see here. Move along, folks. Ah, springtime in Tennessee.
