The middle of March is here and a lot of things are going on.

Middlemarch is not about a time of year, but rather a fictitious place in the British Midlands. However, I always think about the book during this time of year.

There are some interesting days in the middle of March.

The 15th of March is ‘the Ides of March’ when Julius Caeser was assassinated. March 14 is Pi Day.

March 14 is also the time to set back our clocks.

March 17 is a day to celebrate Irish heritage on St. Patrick’s Day.

March 20 will be the First Day of Spring. Of course here in California it already is starting to feel like spring.

My arm is a bit sore and I am a bit worn out from the vaccine yesterday, so time to rest.
