This month is going to grab us by the hand and whisk us away. It’s already looking like Spring is coming: flocks of ducks flew overhead this morning when I came to work –and they were headed North! However, I was going South to the Public Library with sun shining in my face and a yellow cat running alongside my car as I headed for the river bridge. I don’t know where she was going.<\/p>\n
Remnants of snow scattered along my path as I got closer to Battle Creek, and now at 1:40 pm, there are more puddles than little snow drifts along the street.<\/p>\n
Business was a little slow from 9 a.m. till closing. A few adults and a handful of children came in and retrieved books to read or movies to take home, but it’s possible other people were busy outside. Our small quota of\u00a0 patrons didn’t stay too long either.<\/p>\n
It’s a little nippy yet, but this looks good for the beginning of Spring. You know, those ducks were encouraging each other to keep flying–pretty loudly, too. It made me want to shout a little.<\/p>\n
If the weather stays friendly, it will be somewhat harder to stay inside and work. It might be tempting to play hooky and enjoy\u00a0 the weather. Who knows? A holiday might come along and rescue us. It’s been known to happen. Now what is the next holiday coming to our rescue???<\/p>\n
And then it snowed! I guess the next holiday must be Grab Your Shovel Day,\u00a0 right?<\/p>\n
