too early for Neruda
St. Patrick's Day was Luck of the Irish mild & sunny; Friday was balmy '70s; Saturday & Sunday chilly, breezy '50s (with "Supermoon" on Saturday night; I didn't see it, I'd have to walk three blocks to an old railroad overpass for a low horizon line); today began raw, showery high '30s, snowed some in North Jersey, the entire week forecast on the colder side. Typical March weather in Jersey. I won't store away my winter coat for another month. The Dogwood buds around here haven't popped, which is just as well - they had a deep freeze winter & one really warm day didn't fool them. A tad too early to quote Pablo Neruda:
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." Thomas Jefferson
"I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees."- the closing line of a sexy poem titled, of course, "What Spring Does with the Cherry Trees."
