March Madness

no, not the basketball tournament

what is it about March ? wherever i have lived i become restless during the month of March

what a rascal March is / in Topanga Canyon it was often a month of huge downpours and floods / in Vermont the biggest snow storms / in Rome it rained every day the spring i decided to come back to the states

here in Moab, March teases with hints of spring then just when half the aloe vera plants have been moved outside there is a freeze / kaboom / gone are the aloe vera plants just like that

if one is a nomad or better yet, a New Mad, this is the season to migrate or at least get ready to migrate

and the Rideau Canal is officially closed / so no chance of a sudden flight to Ottawa to skate its wondrous miles
