Actually, those bright objects in the sky aren't stars, they're planets. But when the weather is this nice, the running this good, and the sky this beautiful, there isn't any need to dwell on technicalities.  It really is March, pinch me!  Last year there were still people ice fishing on the lake St. Patrick's Day weekend.  This year several people put their docks out today. Is it global warming?  Is it the alignment of Venus and Jupiter, with Mars not far away?  Or is it just the nature at its best?  Sometimes I think it's simply wise to accept and enjoy, which is what I did tonight as I ran after dark, in the light of the planets and the moon.
