How much do you know about the third month of the year?&nbsp; Actually, it was the first month of the year in the early Roman calendar.<br /> It was named after Mars, the god of war.&nbsp; March has 31 days.&nbsp; During these days, winter ends and spring begins which ends hibernation for the animals.&nbsp; The birthstone for March is aquamarine and the flower the daffodil.&nbsp; The zodiac signs are Aries and Pisces.&nbsp; We look to March for a weather prediction, which is, "When March comes in like a lion it goes out like a lamb."&nbsp; Mathematicians celebrate the number 3.14159, (ratio of a circle's circumference to it's diameter), March 14th, Pi Day.&nbsp; And that brings us to one of the most celebrated days in March, St. Patrick's Day, the 17th, in honor of the patron Saint of Ireland.&nbsp; We celebrate with parades, the wearing of the green, leprechauns, and shamrocks.&nbsp; Irish tales and lore are sung and told.&nbsp; I'll share my favorite riddle to tell on this holiday:&nbsp;Why should you never iron a 4 leaf clover?&nbsp; Because you don't want to press your luck!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Find our more fun things about each of the 12&nbsp;months with&nbsp;this series:</p> <p><a href="http://library.naperville-lib.org/search/q?author=brode+robyn&amp;title=March" title="Months of the year">Months of the Year</a>&nbsp;
