We hope everyone enjoyed St. Patrick’s Day on March 17 and had a little fun with it. Enjoyed a few Irish jokes, like – “What’s Irish and stays out all night? Paddy O’Furniture.” “ What do you call an Irishman who bounces off the walls? Rick O’Shea.”
The first day of Spring was March 19. Snow is mostly gone with minimal run-off, but at least there was some. Winter usually has a few more last hurrahs, which would bring welcome moisture. If not, it will need a lot of April showers to bring May flowers (and grass).
Humour for the Day
“Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer you get to the end the faster it goes.”
“Spring is the only season with 100 kinds of weather within 24 hours.”
