Sándor, József, Benedek

Sándor, József, Benedek
zsákban hoznak meleget

This is a traditional Hungarian saying that translates:  "Alexander, Joseph and Benedick bring the warmth in a sack."  That is, on March 18, the name day for all Alexanders, Josephs and Benedicks, the weather is warm.  That is, according to old traditions, by the middle of March, the days are longer, the weather is warmer and spring has begun.


Not so this year!  We had wonderful weather last week with highs in the 50's, but over the weekend it got colder and Saturday night a snowstorm came through.  The picture above is of the tulips in the garden.  The poor plants should survive, but they are covered with snow.

Yesterday at church, the pastor who lead the service denied any responsibility for the unseasonal snow and cold.  His name, by the way, is Sándor.
