St. Patrick's Day -- March 17, 2014

Spring -- March 20, 2014
Vernal Equinox -- March 20, 2014

Winter ?
Doesn't care to leave, yet ...
On the left is ice ----- maybe a few snowflakes buried in there ..
But, it is ice ..
Now melted ..
But, no sunshine ..
Or blue sky ..
Or warm temp !!
Although NOAA says the temp. should go to 50 deg. today ..
Got my doubts about that ..
Thursday - freezing rain ?
Whether the weather will find Spring ..
We shall see ..

Photo on right side --- don't know the flower -- ID below,

[ thanks Pam J for ID of Creeping Phlox ] but in trimming these back off the sidewalk ..
Learned very quickly that there were very tiny thorns/prickly things on the stems !

21 March 14 --- just to add info --- across the street neighbor visited while I was out there yesterday; she said, "the lady who planted them called them Thrift"
So, we have several names from which to pick ~
