With 576 candles in a pyramid shape 14 feet high found in the Mother of Good Counsel Votive Candle Chapel, the light given off might help chase away another cloudy, dreary day.

The cloudy, cool day with mist falling this evening, has me dreaming of a warmer, sunny summer day near a beach listening to the gentle waves rolling in.

I was glad with the weather forecasters removed the sleet chances for tonight as ice coating objects is never a good thing.

It did not seem very springlike outside today with the cloudy and colder day. There is no cheerful flowers either to indicate that it is spring.

Even though the cat’s water bowl had a thick layer of ice on it yet this afternoon, the ice on my pond is slowly melting and only about a fifth of it is still covered in ice. So with the ice leaving and the robins returning, a hint of spring is appearing.

Today has been designated National Rosie the Riveter Day in a “collective national effort to raise awareness of the 16,000,000 women who worked during World War II.” Women filled gaps in the in the labor force left by men who had gone off to fight. The “Rosies” had worked in factories and in a variety of jobs.

The birds were singing more on this warmer day as spring officially starts. And the ground and the outside house walls had plenty of flies crawling around so I could have turned my tree frog loose for an afternoon smack when the sun came out later in the day. And it must be spring as I spotted a mosquito too, even though there are no spring flowers blooming. I rather see flowers than those nasty insects.

The calendar says that today is the last day of winter, not that Mother Nature pays much attention to the calendar as there is a chance of snow later this week, but maybe there won’t be anymore sunsets with a icy layer on the snow to catch the colors of the setting sun.

I heard the robin for the first time this year, but I don’t know if the snow last night counted as being one of the three times it needs to snow on the robin’s tail before spring finally arrives.

The leprechauns would have been doing unplanned Irish jig on my cement as it was covered in ice this morning. It wasn’t a sunny, green day with lots of shamrocks to be found even though the ice melted after a while. Moss seems to be the only green outside right now and it can make a pretty green scene where it grows in the mist of a waterfall.
