Hot wind

So much for old folk weather sayings -- March went out roaring.  It was another hot day but so windy It didn't feel any warmer outside than in.  The showers failed to materialize so it was a mostly dry month.  Hickory buds swelled.  Azaleas began to bloom.  A black swallowtail joined the cabbage whites, bees and wasps.  A Carolina wren chattered.  I heard other birds I didn't recognize.  The mid day blue sky got covered by clouds in the afternoon.  I saw one turtle on the bank of the lake but with the log gone there's nowhere for them to gather.
