I hope everybody is OK after the horrible weather we had. I still have some snow. Friday is Spring, let’s have some good weather again! I finally saw flocks of geese and two robins before the high winds hit. Wonder if they blew away or are hunkering down somewhere? 

The St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Jeffersonville was once again a great success, even with the windy cold weather! (at least it wasn’t snowing) The FF McPadden Pipes & Drum Corps were wonderful, floats and decorated vehicles really decorated for the day and the marchers looking good and smiling while they gave out treats. A big congratulations to the Grand Marshall, Duke Devlin!
