Adieu, Pazzo Marzo

Ahhh....j'adore Spring!

I really do.
But, Pazzo Marzo got the best of me this year. It was a tough month!

Sooooo, HELLO APRIL, boy am I glad you're here. And, that's no joke!

Throughout the month, we alternated between basking in the sunny warmth, to dodging the cold wind, ice storms, and rain. March is so unpredictable, Italians even have a saying dedicated to its craziness.

Marzo pazzarello
esce il sole e prendi l’ombrello
Which, translated means that March in Italy is pretty much like Texas year-round.

Even when it is sunny, carry an umbrella.

So...adieu Pazzo Marzo and welcome sunny April. With any luck, we'll be at the beach in no time!


For all of you joksters out there, Happy Pesce d'Aprile! Here's a little prank form to get you started!

I hear ya sister! Good riddance March!!!. But here in Milan they say "April ogni gotta on baril" (Aprile ogni goccia รจ un barile). So I guess I won't be putting that umbrella away anytime soon.
