March comes in like a lion, goes out like a lamb.  It is a turning of seasons time and it is the month of the adaptable mutable Pisces (Feb 18 through March 20). Pisces is a water sign and people born under the sign will often find peace and restoration when in close proximity to living water.

Now, the Rubini building has had the windows replaced and the roof flashing and downspouts done in copper..
