Week-end Edition
Mother Nature is ushering
in a lovely week-end for Kiawah. It is sunny and warm, with just a slight
breeze. The birds are performing a concerto just for you, right
outside your window! If you listen closely you can hear
cardinals,
Carolina titmice,
yellow-rumped warblers, and
an occasional
blue jay.
Not bad for a free concert!
Island News #1:
The Kiawah Island Parkway detour
is currently between Sea Forest and Sora Rail. As there is no way
to detour in that location, a flagman will be directing traffic
through a single lane. The detour will move to Sanctuary Drive and Green Dolphin Way
beginning Monday, April 3rd.
Be sure to plan for extra driving time during the next few weeks,
as KICA completes work on a curb project. If you have any questions, please call Huggie Hindman or Connie Samford at 843-768-2315.
Island News #2:
KICA is experiencing technical difficulties with their
e-mail list due to a recent change in telephone/internet service provider.
They hope to have it corrected soon.

The
KICA e-mail list is now functioning again. Thank you for your
patience!
Week-end Weather:
It is a warm 70 degrees at 9:10 Friday morning. We are expecting a
very warm, but partly cloudy, week-end on Kiawah. The story? A
high on Friday in the low seventies and a low in the upper fifties.
Saturday brings a repeat of Friday, with
highs in the low seventies and lows in the upper fifties. Last
but not least, Sunday's high should be near eighty (!), with lows in
the upper fifties.

One
pileated woodpecker,
two

Carolina titmice,

It is another glorious
spring day on Kiawah! Not only are Kiawah's plants blooming to beat the
band, but our critters seem to be parading about the island as well.
Today's photo is proof: there were actually
two pileated woodpeckers, though it was
impossible to capture both on film.

Kiawah is partly cloudy
again this morning, with
intermittent glimpses of the sun. It is another fine spring day! One sign of spring that is certainly not
lacking on Kiawah these days is... pollen! Anything that sits
outside for longer than an hour is covered by a fine mist of yellow dust.
Cars, leaves, potted plants - nothing is exempt!

Though showers are not expected until this evening, it certainly looks
like they will be arriving sooner. Perhaps we should all get
outside to play early today?

Kiawah is sunny this morning, but not terribly warm. We are
certainly having an interesting start to spring this year. Or is
it the old
saying,
"in like a lion and out like a lamb" has been turned around on us?
It was certainly beautiful and warm the first day of March this year.
Does that mean we are going to have the lion at the end of the month?

The
predicted
rain never really showed this week-end, though high winds Saturday
evening and Sunday have brought us slightly cooler temperatures. Kiawah is
overcast this morning, with light sprinkles in some places. It
looks like today will be a day for inside tasks, as more rain is on
the way.
The spring plantings are beginning to "strut
their stuff", with daffodils popping up here and there. The
sweet grass is starting to grow longer too. Soon Kiawah will be
covered with signs of spring. What newly sprouted greenery have
you spotted lately?
Island News:
The detour
along Greensward Road is expected to remain until sometime Monday
afternoon, 3/20/06.
Be sure to plan for extra driving time during the next few

It is sunny on
Kiawah this morning
once again. Looks like another beautiful day on the island! This is the time of year when our lovely live oaks
become the scourge of gardens - and gardeners! March's "lion" winds
have scattered the dead leaves everywhere. And except for an hour or two
when the yard looks nice, raking does not do much good! The leaves just
seem to keep coming down. On the other hand, the azaleas
certainly look beautiful with their blossoms beginning to bloom.

Kiawah is back to
being sunny this morning. It is quite windy though, a

about 16 degrees cooler than yesterday morning - Yikes! Have you
packed away those winter clothes? This morning you may need a sweater!

Last night's winds
brought clouds to our fair island, so
Kiawah overcast this
morning. Rain seems to be headed our way, bringing cooler
temperatures for the remainder of the week. Still, mid-sixties
in early March isn't so bad, is it?
Astronomy 101:
Tonight is the Full Worm Moon - doesn't sound very appetizing,
does it? Indians named it this because as the temperature begins to
warm and the ground begins to thaw, earthworm casts appear, heralding
the return of the robins. The more northern tribes knew this
Moon as the Full Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows signaled the end
of winter; or the Full Crust Moon, because the snow cover becomes
crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night. The Full Sap Moon,
marking the time of tapping maple trees, is another variation. To the
settlers, it was also known as the Lenten Moon, and was considered to
be the last full Moon of winter. Bring on spring!

Kiawah is covered in
sunshine this morning, though it is a tad chilly. Apparently the
birds don't mind though, since they are singing at the top of their
lungs. Could it be that they sense spring is just around the
corner?

Kiawah is sunny and
beautiful this morning. It was quite windy last night, with more on
the way this afternoon. Temperatures should cool down a bit with
all of this wind, but for now, it feels like spring...or summer! Will
you be able to get outside & play today?

will obviously be no "in like a lion, out like a lamb"
for March this year!
