March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb

I remember the old saying "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb" and I am seeing more of the "lamb" this month with the power of the sun growing stronger and the light extending.

March the 21st is the pagan festival of Oestara when we celebrate with spring flowers and decorated eggs; I love this time of year, so much promise of things to come, a time to plant seeds and watch them grow.

The snow drops in our garden have been out for sometime braving the cold and snow and now the other bulbs are just beginning.
