Though the days were getting longer, and the sunshine warmer, we fully expected our March to be far from spring-like. Still, we enjoyed soaking in as much sun as we could out on the trails.
We also shared a cold and lost a small part of the month, I suppose, after resisting against all those bugs all season. Last weekend's winter storm was perfect for us to stay home and recover. When the sun finally came out on Sunday, we celebrated belated St. Patrick's Day with venison stew.
The below picture shows our snow bank exactly a week ago. Snow is melting, but has long ways to go.
And it had been a long while since we made gyoza dumplings. Joe's birthday was coming up, so I made them on my day off. I prefer our homemade dumpling skins (I need Joe's help with them) better than store-bought ones, but they were still very tasty and made me wonder why I waited so long.

Unfortunately I had to work all this Joe's birthday weekend, but we'll make up for it next week. Happy Birthday, Joe!
