It\u2019s March.\u00a0 And there are signs of spring such as crocuses and buds on trees.\u00a0 Yet March, as I\u2019ve known it, is a month of varying weather.\u00a0 The saying, \u201cIn like a Lion, Out like a Lamb, ( it can be the reverse too) reflects the ups and downs of weather patterns well.\u00a0 This year March came in more like a Lamb, warm weather for just a bit. Then, of course, it got cold again and snowed.<\/p>\n
There is an organic pattern here: from Cold and snowy to warm and thawing weather. The pattern follows its own natural course.<\/p>\n
Melting snow makes for Muddy times.\u00a0 I insist on still wearing my boots out.<\/p>\n
There is a strong sense of change in the air.\u00a0 A change that\u2019s noticeable.\u00a0 Yet one couldn\u2019t have notice this earlier. There are things going on underneath. Under the cold and frozen snow covered ground
\n( we got a bit this year) there are things germinating.<\/p>\n
Changes happen when we can\u2019t see them, as well as times when we do see them.
\nI stopped and admired those crocuses, as they opened to the sun.
\nThere are things\u00a0 just waiting for \u201cjust the right\u201d time to come out further and be seen.\u00a0 There are processes in motion, gone unnoticed until the flower breaks through and blooms forth.<\/p>\n
So Be patient. Change can bring some amazing things to fruitation.<\/p>\n

\nSoldier Portraits<\/b>
\nDarla Dixon organized a group of artists who will create no-charge compassionate portraits for the families who have lost a loved one in Operation Iraqi Freedom\/Operation Enduring Freedom. We are looking for artists to join our efforts, and also for non-artists who will help spread the word about this free service and token of our gratitude to families who have sacrificed so much.”<\/p>\n
