dear march.

Posted on March 5, 2022 by beth

“dear march, come in –

how glad i am –

i hoped for you before-

put down your hat –

you must have walked –

how out of breath you are.”

Lovely quote, Beth. March has brought rain to Beetley. The current downpour is now close to seventeen hours long, non-stop.
Best wishes, Pete.

I wonder if some point if Emily regretted her decision to invite March in, and then couldn’t wait for her to leave…

Here in Denver, March brought her friend, winter, with her. It’s snowing again. But then, for reasons I’ve yet to tathom, they say March is the snowiest month here. March here is whiplash season.
