In Like a Lion....

Whoo hoo!  March has arrived!  Notice I didn't say, "Spring has arrived."  Because in Florida, it's been springtime since January!  The only noticable difference?  The wind.  It's a bit scary to think of how warm it's been and what that could possibly do to the ocean and the hurricane season this summer.  (Although my son and daughter and friends said that the ocean water was too cold to go into yesterday, even if they did come home sunburned!)
