The Ides and a Full Moon Too

So, here we are on the Ides of March. The thing stabbing people in the back is the wind. Very chilly out. The peepers are still singing, although not as enthusiastically. The daffodils out front that bloomed got knocked over by the wind.

And we've finally come out on the other side of dawn. Let me explain. Because traffic in the region is terrible, I get up early and drive into work between 5:15 and 5:50 am. Yes, I know clocks shouldn't have that time on them. But today, the sky was actually brightening when I left the house, and dawn was approaching when I arrived in the parking lot. Whee! That's almost as nice as when sunset hit the 6 pm mark. Daylight is returning to my world!
