March 2026 in Pictures by Fran Joyce

Weather predictions for March in my part of the world call for spring showers and colder weather to be followed by more showers and warmer temperatures. The sun may come out and play.

The groundhog didn’t see his shadow last month, so we’re not putting our coats and snow shovels away just yet.

March is Women’s History Month, a time to celebrate the achievements of women through the ages and all around the world. Traditional history books (and certain politicians) often gloss over contributions by women. This month is our opportunity to right that wrong.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

For those of you observing Lent, we hope you take advantage of all the wonderful local fish fries.

Best wishes to everyone celebrating the joyous Jewish holiday, Purim (March 2-3) or Eid al-Fitr (March 19-20), the final day of Ramadan, the ninth and holiest month of the Islamic calendar.

Be thankful, wear green, eat great food, hug the ones you love and spread a little love for humanity this month. It’s desperately needed. Please enjoy March 2026 in Pictures!
