Spring forward fall back

Daylight saving time (DST) or summertime is the practice of advancing clocks during summer months by one hour so that evening daylight lasts an hour longer, while sacrificing normal sunrise times - Wikipedia
With that being said, don't forget to spring forward your clocks on Sunday, March 12th!

Leprechauns

On March 15th those pesky little leprechauns arrive at Growing Tree for their annual visit. We are anxious to see what they have up their sleeves. It is up to the children to find the leprechauns gold so that they may return to Ireland. If the children succeed by St Patty's Day the little guy leaves a "sweet treat" in their shoes while they nap.
