Here goes March. In like a lion and out like a lamb. If the latter is occurring, the lamb is wearing a thick wooly blanket and is in a heated barn, looking out at a snow covered landscape.

The temps are now in the high 30s, it’s a bit breezy, and while the snow is melting, the ground is slippery. The road has dirt patches again, and the side of the road has brown grass.

I took Raudi for a walk around the loop. I decided to do this because yesterday she worked hard and at the conclusion of a long canter, did cough. So I figured a walk would do her in good stead – and I think it did. This idea was totally intuitive, for I really don’t know how she fared.

I could figure out more if I checked her vital signs. Instead I decided to just trust my instincts.

Tomorrow is April 1. I am going to take some photos and make some comparisons between the beginning and end of this month. Mid-month is Raudi’s birthday – I have over 20 yearly photos, which does provide me with a winter basis for comparison. But it would be good to get a beginning and end of the month basis for comparison because April is not, as T.S. Eliot says, the cruelest month, but rather, the most unpredictable month.

If I were to personify this March, I’d simply say blaaaaaaaaaaah. It just gradually got warmer.

Pete has plans to rebuild the front of the cabin, off the kitchen. Oddly enough, this is the one time when I have a building related vision – but he does not see my vision. What gives?

Today was, aside from the walk, a tough day. It was perhaps the first day in which I wanted to be someplace other than the former banquet room of the historic Eagle Hotel. I forgot my hearing aids, and I could not hear this one volunteer – I always have a hard time hearing her – so I backed off and did not interact with her much.

My gut wasn’t bugging me too bad but just enough for me to want to say – I’m heading home. If I had a green outfit and flute, perhaps I could have been the pied piper and had them all follow me.

I had been dreading math class because I have not done much lately. Class was held in the literacy annex because another lesson was taking place in the ALP room. It is often very hot in there, but less so today.

Much to my surprise, I had several ahh haa moments, one of which was when dealing with x or y’s, take care of that side of the equation and not attempt to balance it. You balance equations when there is an = sign between the x and the y sides. To which I now say duuuuuh.

Also, we did some graph work, which I liked. Maybe today I stepped over a hump but just now realized it.

Did consider quitting math but think that I will stick with it.

Next: 89. 4/1/26: Huh?
