We seem to be in a great stretch of good weather. The snow and ice are almost gone and we are still in the first part of March! The 14-day trend shows plus 10 temperatures for the entire time. Every good day now is one less day of winter if it does come back? Grass-fires are already a problem and we will need a good amount of rain in April/May, but for now I am going to sit back and enjoy it.
May be a good weekend to sharpen up the golf game at many driving ranges which are bound to be open.

I love that it is light so long into the evening already as well. With all this good news it is only fitting that it will be St. Patrick’s Day next Tuesday. Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone. Oh yeah, green beer, corned beef and cabbage and my all-time favourite Guinness stew.
