WISHES and DESIRES for month of MARCH

Calendars yearly sent to me, I thoroughly enjoy,
not only for magnificent photos of Canadian scenes,
but also for attached quotes of wisdom.

Picture a lighthouse painted in horizontal stripes of brown and cream
standing 'at the ready' along a calm-watered lake.
The sky of powder-blue is a-float with drifting clouds.

Theforegoing message spanned in the sky from Mahatma Gandhi, states:
“You may never know what results come of your action,
but, if you do nothing, there will be no result.”
(the lighthouse pictured is in Cedar Dunes Provincial Park, Prince Edward Island)

Another calendar informs me that“Challenges are what makes life interesting
and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” stated Joshua J. Marine.

The scene is a steeply sloped forested hillside of numerous pale green deciduous trees
and rising dark greens of stately pines touching the low-hanging clouds.

My Wildlife 2020 calendar depicts a Blue Jay on its cover
and for March is an adorable whiskered Snowshoe Hare.
Submitted to “Canadian Wildlife's Reflections of Nature Photo Contest,the caption reads:
“The Snowshoe Hare dons a white coat during winter. When danger lurks nearby,
this hare will either become quite still with the hopes of fooling a predator
into thinking it's part of the snowy landscape ~ or it may flee!
Its fur coat is also three layers thick to keep it warm during the winter months.

With rushing winds and gloomy skies,

the dark and stubborn winter dies.

.

The Winds of March, we welcome you;
there is work for you to do.
Work and Play and Blow all day;
Blow the winter cold away!
