March 5th is Full Worm Moon. At the time of this spring Moon, the ground begins to soften and earthworm casts reappear, inviting the return of robins. This is also known as the Sap Moon, as it marks the time when maple sap begins to flow and the annual tapping of maple trees begins.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
May you have warm words on a cold evening,
a full moon on a dark night and a
smooth road all the way to your door.
Irish Blessing
There is some concern around here about the amount of sap we’ll get for our Maple Syrup this year. Trees have been tapped at some of our local parks, but it’s hardly been warm enough to get the sap flowing. Looking ahead to the weekend and the beginning of next week, they say we may have a few days in a row over freezing so that might just do the trick.
Somewhere under all that frozen ice and snow we have, our tulips and daffodils are waiting to push up through the earth and bloom. I can hardly wait, so today I thought I’d share some pictures of them. Right now they are nothing but a memory but very soon now they’ll be here.
I hope you all have a Happy Thursday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
All my life's a circle; Sunrise and sundown; moon rolls thru the nighttime; Till the daybreak comes around.
Harry Chapin
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
2550. for moon light on a dark night
2551. for warmer days ahead
2552. for tulips and daffodils waiting to bloom
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
Promises are like the full moon, if they are not kept at once they diminish day by day
German Proverb
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

I am SO ready for tulips. Right now tho I would have to dig for them. Have a nice Thursday!
I did see the bright moon last night, I'm sure it will be a bit brighter today with it being the full moon. Such pretty flowers from years past. I'm sure they are anxious to bloom again this year :) I think it would be interesting to see a tree being tapped for sap.
betty
I missed the worm moon, lol. Love that name. I learn so much from you! I do hope your sap is okay for the Maple Trees. Maple Syrup is expensive enough without it being in a shortage. I love my Maple Syrup! Thanks so much for all you share with us. You are a real treasure! xoxo
