Ides of March

September Irish Weekend Bagpiper - North Wildwood

Mornin'!  It's 41° in Wildwood.  It's the Ides of March...3/15 the day Julius Ceasar was assassinated.  Also, The Ides were supposed to be determined by the full moon reflecting the lunar origin of the Roman earliest calendar as the Ides of March would have been the first full moon of the New Year.  Not today though.  Anyway...I'm rambling this morning.  It's chilly and damp in Wildwood.  Yesterday's rains did a major soaking as the island's watered to the max.  So much so that hubby had to get the pump out to pump out our backyard so the flooding rain waters didn't enter our shed. Ms Sun just rose but is currently dealing with some major cloud cover that's drifting from the West right over the ocean as I type.  It's looking pretty ominous but don't fret Ms Sun's up for the competition today. It'll be a mix of clouds and sun today. Get ready as the March winds are checking in. It'll be the first preview of that intensity as they're coming from the W-NW at 27-42mph.  Temps will be in the mid-upper 40s.  Tonight...clear with temps in the upper 30s and winds out of the NW at 10-20mph.  5 days until Spring!
