February

For the shortest month, February is jam packed. It starts off with the Super Bowl and no matter which of the teams you are going for the commercials always seem to be the big winners. Wouldn't it be fun to be a celebrity in one of the fancy boxes too? One can always dream, even one (who is not a celebrity) watching the big game on TV at home.

And today we finally had mild beautiful weather, the nicest so far by far this winter. Of course the groundhog will probably predict the return of winter tomorrow so I’m glad I got to enjoy today with my grandsons. We spent the afternoon picking up a bazillion pine cones in a neighbor’s yard. He just got a pacemaker and appreciated the help with the cleanup.

Mardi Gras and Valentine’s Day also figure into February and a school day off for Presidents’ Day too. Parades with beads, chocolate and love, and no school, that’s another bunch of reasons why February is one of my favorite months!
