Time to say goodbye to February as we welcome March.
“March” is named for the Roman god of war, Mars. This was the time of year to resume military campaigns that had been interrupted by winter.
March’s full Moon, the Worm Moon, reaches peak illumination on the morning of Tuesday, March 7, 2023. Look for it in the evening of Monday, March 6, as the Moon rises above the horizon! Why is it called the Worm Moon? Find out here
The flower of March is the daffodil.
There are two zodiac signs in March. Pisces, which is until March 20th, and Aries which is from the 21st.
Every year, March and June finish on the same day of the week.
6th of March is White Chocolate Cheesecake Day

Well, it's still February over here (for another 4 hours anyway). Daffodils are in full bloom, several weeks early because of the warm weather we've had (with little snow this winter)
ReplyDeleteYay March!
ReplyDeleteHappy March. I agree with you that March is exciting because it means spring begins. And I love that daffodils are the flower of the month.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to March myself. St. Pat's Day and the Ides of March . . .
ReplyDeleteThat cheesecake looks delicious.
ReplyDelete...March can be mud season here.
ReplyDeleteLast day of February here in North Idaho, it was like lion.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Happy March
ReplyDeleteNortheastern Native Americans call the March Moon the Crow Moon.
It will be until April or may until worms are about around here in New England.
March is my birth month, I have had snow on my birthday before but it is a time when things start to bud, so excited for spring!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to spring
ReplyDeleteDidn't know about salt on the carpet.
ReplyDeleteLove spring and those daffodils look wonderful.
I,too, look forward to March. All the bulbs are coming through the ground and every garden seems to have daffodils brightening up the road where I live.
ReplyDeleteI love the first signs of spring too! The cheesecake looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteHappy March to you! Our daffodils are not blooming just yet, very soon.

I love seeing flowers at this time of year. And that dessert looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there are days for other types of cheesecake as well. If ever there was a cake that deserved more than one day...

ReplyDeleteAnd so begins another month. They sure go by quickly.
ReplyDeleteHappy meteorological spring! The raspberry cheesecake looks delicious :)
ReplyDeleteOh, what a cheerful blog post, Jan! The cake looks delicious, but they don't like fruit here, so I would make a white cake without any red stuff, with whipped cream on it, later. Sometimes I add a splash of liqueur to it.
ReplyDeleteHappy March! I can already see some daffodils popping up here and there in the Netherlands, but we still have to wait a few weeks for the tulips. Have a nice day!
oh pretty easter flower!And the cake looks delicious!I want it:)))
ReplyDeleteHey, I learned many interesting things here!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was a cheesecake day! Is there any culinary calendar at all where I can see what day what sweets is dedicated to?
I wish you a beautiful and fragrant month of March!
By the way, the daffodils are beginning to bloom in Bulgaria, and today I came across a single meadow with violets!
That cheesecake looks good and those flowers are so pretty.
