Okay, Christmas is over, can we stop with the TV specials and Christmas carols now?  After all, they began back in October, and to be honest, I am completely, utterly, and thoroughly sick and tired of them.

     We have snow and wind, and more snow.  It’s cold.  Cabin fever is already starting.

     As of now, I am looking forward to Saint Patrick’s Day and spring.  I have had enough winter weather in only two days to make me wish for March and the promise of spring.

     I am ready to dig in the garden and plant things.  I want warm sun and fresh air.
