Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for March 03, 2023

The reason we have paved/cement walkways from house to street.

Watch out for the Ides.

In Vermont “Mud” is the season between Winter and Spring.

When I lived in Oregon, we called it the “March Uglies”!

Time to start wearing of the green

Was he going to the bog?

Slorp! Good one.

Beware the Slorp of March! It is a real downer!

It looks like just the sort of situation that Henry would love to play in.

On the past two days, I have mentioned Saint David’s Day and Saint Chad’s Day which are the first two days of March. Today is Saint Winnaloe’s Day. He was another Celtic saint like Saint David. There is a rhyme about his day which mentions the two previous days:-

“First Saint David, then Saint Chad,

Then Winnaloe as though he was mad."

This means that the fierce winds associated with March usually start on Saint Winnaloe’s Day.

Yep…. Summer, Fall, Winter and Mud. The four seasons.

I would say “Go jump in the moat”, but who knows what it’s filled with…

Aah mud season!

Way to much greenery.

Spring? Gees, we will see snow til the end of April.

Tomorrow is Army Advancement Day. March 4th. ☺

If you’ve been slorped, you should always clean up before coming before the king.

Ah, the famous slorping March.

That’s soil, folks!

The Wiz sunk to a new low…

Hey, the Huns have to wait until things dry out too.

My dog was being a bit off her usual routine walk this morning due to multiple garbage trucks going double our low speed limits in here, and so when we got home with no results I aimed for our backyard. Yep, the ground is no longer frozen. We are going to get up to 10" of snow today, so we might get a re-freeze.

Muddy and wet. Sounds like March, but I did see some daffodil buds the other day.

Spring thaw over the septic field.

A man of the soil.

or…as they call it Down East… mud season.

Fish Fry season!

Ahh…Mud season.

I didn’t know Id was in VT. (Mud season)

\\//_

Another one so true. There should be five season: Winter, Mud, Spring, Summer, Fall. Yip yip yip yip yip

Why doesn’t he use his powers to make the problem vanish?

Mud or quicksand?

We still have snow… how I wish it would go!

Little squishy out there!

Not a problem we ever have to worry about around here. We’ll take all the rain we can get.
