Nancy, I meant to say, doesn’t the woman on my March blog header totally look like Mom when she was young? I couldn’t figure out exactly why I was drawn to this painting, and I had a different one picked out for March, but I just realized it tonight. It’s Mom.

Renae, yes, share it with the children, and have them write one! I just had all my students write their "I Am From" poems and am making a little book for them, with a compilation of them all - what a treasure! Fencepost, I actually think Oregon is warmer than North Carolina right now! Julie, well, aren't you going to share the poem with us?! Nancy, thank you so much for coming by! I'm glad you had a nice drive today, this weather is amazing. Will it hold?

nice Dickinsonian anthropomorphism. This March is very springlike in the pacific northwest. I travelled through south central Washington today and it was lovely, lovely. Saw pruners desperately finishing up their jobs in the orchards, before the new growth starts.

oR MY SWEET mOUNTAIN man’s take on March – he wrote a poem from the perspective of the Mountains he loves and lives in 8 months of the year, “My mountains are missing me” and how he is going to reunite with them soon.

I love to read his poetry in March!!

No snow over here. We don’t get much anyway. But the wind is cold. I’m sure it is much colder where you are. I am glad to see March and will be happier to see April. I’ll probably start planting about mid-May. I can’t wait till the winds are warm again and I can start planting.

Thank you for sharing this poem. We are studying poetry in my literature class and this will be wonderful to share with my children.
