!!!!!hell yes it's march!!!!

i would like to order a grilled cheese sangwatsu, thx

Hey, you found a photo of me! Shouldn't it be 110 degrees by now?

March isn't my favorite month, but February is my most hated month, so by comparison, March is pretty fucking awesome. And a sign of better things to come.

March isn't my favorite month by a long shot, but it's much much closer than, say, December.

february suuuuuuuucked

my least fave are nov and feb

perenially

well guess what -- february is over. it ended YESTERDAY. today is 3/1/13.

January and September are my least favorite.

I have to like March because it's my birth month.

february? never heard of it!

february kicked my ass, so i'm relieved it's over. march is going to kick my ass too, but at least i have one ass-kicking behind me.

Got two drinks in after work and there was still daylight, bonus

September to November are fully delightful months. December to March not so much, but I can deal.

I don't get excited about March anymore, because March is the month of false hopes. March always lets you down. But yeah, at least it's not fucking February, by far my most hated month.

i have to get excited about march or i lose hope completely
it's going to be rough going here while we transition, but things will slowly get better
(as opposed to facing months and months of things slowly getting worse)

March is going to be a big improvement over Feb. 'cause I can get some seeds into the ground, continue trying to get in better shape, maybe travel a bit, smoke some ribs, etc

Now my wife won't have to listen to me saying "it's still February" every freaking day.

!!!!!hell yes it's march!!!!

winter is just the worst here. december through february the valley is basically mordor.

now the snow is half-melted and i see crocuses. garden clean-up time in a week or so.

my birthday is in april so I appreciate March as the leadup

also daylight savings starts in a couple of weeks, and I'm excited to resume my evening walks after work

it's pretty delightful all round. I say yes to MARZO

march in 26 different languages if you please

Is that a book you own, LL? It looks delightful!

it is!

you can get it used for 1¢ + shipping! (i got mine years ago at that huge book sale that used to be in the parking lot of the mall just north of here...the old brandeis book sale before they changed hands and started to kind of suck)

wow that's a cool book to have in your arsenal

I want that book.

it's super available, apparently. i've always been guarding it like some kind of precious jewel but it doesn't seem to be rare at all.

MARCH

i just spent two hours walking outside and tbrr shit was pretty grim, but that didn't stop it from being march

Yeah , it's shitty outside today. Still, we March on.

so glad Feb is over, i was sick like dog all month

bring on the Ides, I say

Never been a fan of march, even less so now it brings me to 40 years of age.
10 years ago, it was amazing, now, not so much.

march is okay, but it inevitably leads to july

I really want to believe that March can't possibly be any worse than the three months that preceded it. I really, really want to believe that.

First journey home from work in actual daylight is always a good moment for me

Yes! My first day leaving work at 6 after the time change is always the best.

march is okay, but it inevitably leads to july

This is why it is awesome!!!

The ice cream stands I pass on my drive home have OPENING DAY signs up but I couldn't catch what day it is.

first half of MARZO in hospital blahhhh, but perhaps get most of my normal life back in 3 months, so.

That sounds like good news in the long-term. Best wishes, Morbz.

This is why it is awesome!!!

rong

when i was a kid, my mom sewed me a pooh and a piglet and a kanga with a pouch that roo fit inside

curiously, she did not make me an eeyore

aw cuet

when i was a kid, my brother was christopher robin, my sister was piglet, my other sister was tigger, and i was eeyore.

i did double duty as oscar the grouch.

i sat in the sun outside a tacqueria in the utah desert yesterday afternoon. it certainly felt like the first day of spring to me. it's colder back home today but this week will warm up. the spring rollercoaster begins.

I've been off work the last couple of days and it's been warm enough to be in the garden. About 12 degrees (54 in $). I hacked down our passion flower today and it was *almost* t-shirt warm.

we're supposed to see 71*F here in Northern CA tomorrow

Definitely enjoying this, though mindful that this is only the first our false springs.

wore a light hoodie to work this morning after fuckin' dying in my winter coat yesterday. feels v good

Finally! What a rough couple of months. Prob not getting better but at least it won’t be Jan or Feb anymore

That much, at least, is certain

actual sunshine this weekend!
It makes SUCH a difference to life

Yes! Bring it on.

It's weird the spring doesn't officially start for another 2-3 weeks, and also weird that winter doesn't officially start until almost christmas, seems like somebody messed up somewhere

I don't know who introduced these official designations of the dates of the seasons but reckon they were overstepping their remit. We should just define them as

Winter: Dec-Feb
Spring: Mar-May
Summer: Jun-Aug
Autumn: Sept-Nov

there's just a difference b/w astronomical and meteorological seasons is all that is

I suppose the guilty party is whoever decided that these were worth being all "well, actually" about.

the 23 1/2 degree axial tilt of Earth is what designated the seasons

Winter: Dec-Feb
Spring: Mar-May
Summer: Jun-Aug
Autumn: Sept-Nov

meteorologists agree with you 100%. they use those same months to designate the seasons. for them spring starts on March 1st, summer on June 1st, and so on .

In Central Texas Summer lasts until October now, and Fall is Nov-Dec

Looks like we're having a dry warm-up in the SF Bay Area in the next few days... looking forward to it

the constant weather crapshoot begins to lean in our favor
it's march!!

snow tonight in DC and it’s then going to be 80 degrees by next weekend

that's march for you

already in the upper 80s here, we didn't really get a winter at all. well, one weekend.

I love it being the beginning of March and being under my heated throw like an old person 🥰

I remember when March meant something ;_;

It definitely means something now -- scary storms. But almost every month means scary storms anymore.

the relief of march's onset is partially about weather but not entirely.
for me, who does not celebrate Easter or anything related to it, March also means months and months of relief from family-centered holidays PLUS relief from walking on ice (frozen water). that's enough relief that i feel genuinely grateful for it.

MARCH! it's a month, a noun, and a verb.

I am looking forward to a panopoly of March activities

it's march. what's going on? weather continues to be weird. it's been very warm and rainy. misty today. we've had our warmest winter on record. also just about the worst snowpack. every year is a new adventure when the climate is changing so rapidly. kinda worried about the summer. one day at a time.

i'll take the weather right now though, for sure. any snow in the valley we received from the same freak storm that turned into that noreaster on the east coast is long gone. my main running trail is back in business. 60 degree highs are incredibly pleasant. the direct sun has a fair amount of energy behind it. equivalent to its strength in september! it's still a somewhat similar story as it always has been, spring. the air is cold and the sun is hot. after the waning of the light its intensity is a shock and it'll burn ya. around september i've already been through summer and my skin is brown and unaffected by it.
