Full Worm Moon, Peas for St. Pat's, DST reminder

Daily Newsletter for Friday, March 10, 2017

The little white clouds are racing over the sky,    

And the fields are strewn with the gold of the flower of March,    

The daffodil breaks under foot, and the tasseled larch

Sways and swings as the thrush goes hurrying by.

–Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
