March Half Gone . . .

Let's see, the plantation meeting is done.  Birthday is passed and I am still kicking.  Taxes filed - efiled this year, a first; a new Pope, Francis I and St Patty's day is over.  And March is only about a little over a half done.  Things are ahappening left and right.

Willow trees are green now, Oak's especially the Red Oaks are putting on leaves.  The Post Oaks, much slower are thickening up and soon will be leafing out.  Then we will have Oak bloom season, the oak worms all over the place.  The air will literally be yellow.  Weeds are starting up too.

Grass is showing life.  Temperatures are gradually rising and even Fritz is out already.  It was a warm but somewhat dry winter.  We got about 1/3 less than normal rain fall, that could not bode well for this almost semiarid location.  If the lakes are low, as they are, the water rationing will be on hand again.  Heard on the radio all the regional lakes are well below their norms for this time of year.

Winds are up, well duh, it is March.  But that means less flying of RC planes until things kinda smooth out.

Spring is sprung.
