Spring and St. Patrick’s Day

Well, I am definitely glad that spring has arrived.  This week has been absolutely beautiful here in sunny Southern California.  We have had 80 degree weather with a slight breeze, chilling down to a beautiful cooler temperature in the evenings…This is the time of year that I am so glad spring means sun and warm weather not sun to make the snow melt. :)

My sister in law, Ruth, sent me this today and I found it quite entertaining: “Whether the weather be fine, or whether the weather be not, whether the weather be cold, or whether the weather be hot, we’ll weather the weather, whatever the weather, whether we like it or not.” From a 3rd grade science book!

So along with Spring today is the day that we all wear green to keep our friends from pinching us.  March 17th is becoming more and more of a popular thing… I mean we saw a huge bottle of green food coloring, it was at least 16 oz if not more.  Who wants a HUGE bottle of green food coloring?  At school today we encouraged the kids to wear green to remind us of the beautiful earth the Lord has given us.  It was fun to see all the different greens together and some of the crazy outfits people wear, like me for instance.  Yes, I went a little crazy.  I wore a bright green wig and I have neon green fingernails.  All the little kids kept asking me if it was my real hair and where is your real hair if you are wearing that.  I told the 6th graders I had shaved my head to wear a wig! :)  It was great to see the reactions of the high schoolers and those who were trying to figure out who dyed their hair bright green.  I had fun and James gave me a wonderful compliment. He said, “I mean this in the most endearing way, you look absurd.” lol James and I are wearing matching shirts that say “Lucky Shirt” on them.  I hope you all had a wonderful day and that the pic below doesn’t scare you too much!

I love the green hair!
