March this year came in like a Lion, but a tame Lion compared to years past. Especially memorable was one 30 plus years ago. And a few years prior to that, we had the Blizzard of 1978, which was a not so fun one. We spent three days in a house with twenty or more plus neighbors. We cooked over a fire in a fireplace. Thank heavens where we were had one. We survived, and the snow took weeks upon weeks to melt away.
Six years later, we had blizzard like conditions, when our third little one decided to make an entrance. The wind was howling and the snow was blowing and drifts knee high. My car wouldn't start to get me to the hospital, and even if it had, I could not have gotten out of my driveway. Hubby was on the road so it was up to me and her two brothers. We ended up calling the squad to take me. Their sister made her entrance the next afternoon. This past week our snow blizzard baby celebrated her birthday, but thank goodness we weren't also celebrating blizzard like conditions as well. She has now grown into a lovely young woman who is also a mom to our wonderful grandson.
Our March Baby
So, to say the least, this winter has been very gentle indeed. The Lion must have a cold or sore throat and is not howling here in Ohio like normal for March entrance. The weather has bounced around from 70's to back to freezing, and then Summer type days. Yesterday was in the 70's. Today will be rain and cooler weather and then some rain snow mix. You never know when you live in Ohio. It can change in an instant, but suppose most states are like that.
Sharing my video of Mr. Bird from this morning..that's what we call the cardinals that have been at the bird feeder lately. Mr. and Mrs. Bird. ~smiles~ so hope you enjoy. I could only capture Mr. Bird today.

wow your daughter certainly made her entrance "interesting" for you! Sounds like you are having very variable weather. I am sure spring will be lighting up your world soon. Here it is starting to cool down into autumn. A couple of weeks ago I wouldn;t have had a jacket on at 5.30 in the afternoon! Stay safe, enjoy your week, and thankyou for the link up.
ReplyDeleteLove the story about your daughter. Very nice. March is variable weather season. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteOh my, babies have no idea what a good moment is to come into the world, do they? That must have been scary for you at that time!
ReplyDeleteYesterday we had a tornado warning, but it luckily passed our house - am not sure about Austin in general, because hubby reported a lightning storm, stores closed, the parkinglot littered with branches, and exceptionally heavy rain while coming home, and this weather continued till at least 3 am.
Happy birthday to the Blizzard baby!
ReplyDeleteGlad all went well for you and your lovely daughter.
ReplyDeleteCardinals are so beautiful.
Thank you for hosting.
Wow. That must have been stressful at the time, but a good story over the years!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to know about your daughter's birth story. Happy Birthday to her. She is a lovely lady now.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day!
I love to see your red bird. We haven't them here.
