All these pictures were taken here in March, mostly this year (I think one is from last year). March here tends to be snowy, cold, and if it gets a little warm it gets very muddy. This year it was so cold for so long that nothing (except a very few snowdrops) grew at all. Pretty depressing, overall.
A few happy points: Last year it got warm and then we had an ice storm, which froze a lot of tree blossoms and hurt some crops. This year, the month seemed more consistent, which I think means fewer frozen blossoms. Also, the birds did come back, as you can see on the fence picture.
Decorating inside during March was weird--I put out the tulip and Easter stuff, as Easter was Mar 23, but there are no tulip shoots, much less tulip blooms. Ah well, at least we get to enjoy the decorations longer.
