March may be upon us, but as I look out the window, snow is falling to “beat the band.” But
hang on baby, spring is coming! Not that we won’t get some snow over in March, but we can
look forward to the springing of Spring on March 20. We seem to have had our share of snow
and ice for this winter. I trust you have fared well in all of it.
Don’t forget to set your clocks on March 14 when Daylight Savings Time begins. Spring
forward with your clocks, so you won’t be early or late for Sunday School, whichever it is; hard
for us old codgers to figure which. Just set the blasted “electric rooster” ahead one hour
before you go to bed on Saturday night, and let it be a surprise to you.
And, don’tcha be a fergittin’ the wearin’ of tha green on March 17; that be St. Patrick’s Day,
don’t cha know!
Easter comes early this year, on the first weekend of April, with Palm Sunday on March 28;
don’t let it sneak up on you. Those of you who plan to go to “Mule Day” in Columbia,
Tennessee; it will no doubt be moved to the second weekend in April. I know you would
enjoy Easter there, but if you want to see the most beautiful mules in the world, wait till the

is awastin’. Happy Spring to all ya’ll from us here at the Post!

the Bodock Post have survived the winter but now are
ready for spring.
Carl Wayne, our gardening “Guru,” is no doubt ready
to get some serious gardening done.
Wayne has probably cleaned and readied his cooker
for some of his good grilled steaks.
Me, well, I’m about ready to get to working outside. I
need to rev up the ol’ chain saw and cut down
something.
Really, I think we all just need a good excuse to get
outside and do something that does not require three
layers of clothes, coats, hats, and gloves to stay warm.
