3. Interesting facts and lore about the remaining days of March:
- March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day. According to folklore, folks wear a shamrock on St. Patrick’s Day because the saint used its three leaves to explain the Trinity.
- March 20 brings about the March equinox—also called the vernal or spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere—marking the beginning of spring. In the Southern Hemisphere, this date marks the autumnal equinox and the beginning of fall. On this day, the Sun stands directly over Earth’s equator.
- March 22 marks the start of Ramadan, which begins at sundown on that day. In Islam, Ramadan is considered a holy month when a month-long, sunrise-to-sunset fast is observed.
- March 29-31 are known as the Borrowing Days. According to lore, the last three days of March have a reputation for being stormy.

Gotta clean up that storm blowdown and get those spindly blacklocust trees leafed out and blooming!
An' a li'l horse and buggy.
Happy Friday & happy st Patrick’s day!
been a very long week, started rough, ending rough lol. It’s a “what in the world” type of week, I think I’ve said it atleast 10x a day.
Having my fam and a few friends over just to talk and chill, I’m making a whole green platter, cucumbers, green grapes, celery, broccoli.. yay for green! It’s one of my favorite colors.
I didn’t wear green today though, thankfully I don’t work with toddlers so I didn’t get pinched.
cleaned the house, now I’m tired, amazes me how much cleaner the stalls and the barn are compared to my house🫣😳
I got back from work and thought I’d have time to work my guy- nope, the bad weather had already started blowing in, and both him and the mare were galloping around like crazy and he seemed annoyed with this sudden weather change.. today it was a beautiful 70° and now bam.. the clouds are threatening to pour any second now and the wind is so darn strong! The temps are dropping too, I think the high for tomorrow is in the 40°s, ugh!
My guy has been shedding like INSANE! I think he’s about lost all his coat, I get covered in hair before I can even say “hair!” I try to wear my vest outside every time I know I’m going to brush him or else I’ll turn into a mini him.
pretty bummed about the rain, it was finally dry, as well as the arena.
got some more sand for the arena, well I didn’t mean too, I walked outside and went “what in the world!” There was a load of sand in my arena!
I never bought anymore and got all the loads I paid for a month or two ago, lol guess I’m going to have the call the people I got the sand from in the first place.
dinner im making a grilled tuna fish sandwich!
actually I use to really hate grilled tuna fish sandwiches when I was a kid, and then I got older, piled on the cheese and I like it now LOL.
sadly I have no new pictures, pretty boring!
Haven’t been able to read everyone’s post, ill get to it later though.
everyone that’s sick- feel better!!
Hope everyone has a good and safe night & weekend.

1. @dogpatch is the kitty picture Barney The Barn Cat? That cat is either part Himalayan or Siamese - it is beautiful 😍😍 I’ll bet with that Tri colored nose it’s a female.
I agree with your comment awhile back that the cat belongs to someone. Years ago a good friend had her female (spayed) cat disappear. Three YEARS later it returned😳😳. She was gobsmacked when she was heading to feed the horses one morning and Kitty met her at the porch door. Kitty stayed “home” for a few more years, until her end time arrived and my friend had to have her PTS’d.
Cats do the darndest and I think dumbest things sometimes👽👽
2. It was 60-something degrees yesterday, stayed in the 50’s all night. Wind came up with gusts in the 20 MPH, and pretty soon the rain let loose - it poured, the wind blew, it got cold, Duncan said “to Hay with this dog crap” and went to the barn”.
We will be down in the 20’s for the next three nights - never fear it will allegedly be 77 by Thursday🙄🙄

3. March 25th was the old New Year both here and in the American colonies until 1752. It's also Latha na Cailleach - ladies day, associated with cleaning and the time when Cailleach stops beating back spring growth and good weather. We're in A’ Chailleach at the moment, the extra 'season' that brings stormy weather.
4. Our weather has been cold with some snow on Tuesday morning. We're a bit milder now, at 11C/51F. The weekend is to be wet and dull. One day we'll get mild and sunny!
5. Tea was salmon and steamed veg. Supper is toast and jam before bed.
7. Anthing else...
I'm working the weekend, I doubt that I'll have time to ride until Tuesday.
It was a working day for me and I came home to finish emails and paperwork after my tea. I remember when my Friday nights were a different.

I was working yesterday and my clients had a St Patty Day menu at dinner--Irish Stew with lamb and corned beef with cabbage. I could never eat a lamb myself or veal either for that matter! But the corned beef looked really good.
My mom is of Scottish/English/Irish descent. My BF's dad was Scottish also. We had kilts made in Scotland and used to wear them to the Scottish games around the PNW. Here's me walking with my clan in a little parade--

A couple of our horses are shedding quite a bit now and the others are just starting. Finally warming up the last few days--in the low sixties. My old boy got to have his blankie off so he can enjoy the sunshine. He still needs to gain more weight but the spring grass will help. More rain most of next week.
