Spring is right around the corner! Who is excited for nice warm spring days? I spotted a robin in my front yard last week, then the next day it snowed!
I am so over winter already. My husband and I moved to the Western Slope of Colorado for the mild winters, warm and early springs, and exceptional summers. This winter left a lot to be desired, just like everywhere in the United States!
Did you know that the month of March was named after Mars, the Roman god of war?
In England, it was the first month of the year until the 18th century.
On March 2nd, 1925 the U.S. adopted the practice of route numbers for roads.
On March 7th, 1876 Alexander Graham Bell received a patent for the telephone.
Where would we be today without the invention of the telephone?
"March is like a naughty child.... Blustery, teasing... captious...Wild!!"
Although February is a short month, why does it seem as though it is the longest? Possibility because of the cold and snow that keep many of us inside watching the snow fall. Many snow ski, ice skate, snow shoe, and other outside winter activities. Myself, as a child I loved the snow and being out in it. Now at almost 54 years old, I like sitting indoors watching the snow fall as I knit or write.
Do you have any plans in the month of March? I'm anxious to have my granddaughter visit me beginning the end of the month for Spring break. Although she will be here for a mere week, my husband and I have a lot planned for her visit.
Stay warm and where ever February 27th takes you, enjoy and have a wonderful, fantastic day.
