March brings breezes, loud and shrill,To stir the dancing daffodil.

March 1 - Data Backup Day
Read "11 Ways to Create Backups and Prevent Data Loss" by Thomas MacEntee.
The sun is nervous
As a kite
That can't quite keep
Its own string tight.
Some days are fair,
And some are raw.
The timid earth
Decides to thaw.
Shy budlets peep
From twigs on trees,
And robins join
The chickadees.
Pale crocuses
Poke through the ground
Like noses come
To sniff around.
The mud smells happy
On our shoes.
We still wear mittens,
Which we lose.

March 29 - Scanfest
Read the March 2009 Scanfest post.The sun is nervous
As a kite
That can't quite keep
Its own string tight.
Some days are fair,
And some are raw.
The timid earth
Decides to thaw.
Shy budlets peep
From twigs on trees,
And robins join
The chickadees.
Pale crocuses
Poke through the ground
Like noses come
To sniff around.
The mud smells happy
On our shoes.
We still wear mittens,
Which we lose.

I think the title is "prevent data loss" not "create data loss" - I've created enough of that in my lifetime!
Aargh! Sorry, Thomas! I corrected the title. Mistakes like these are what happens when family members come talk to me while I'm trying to blog. :-(
