Say goodbye to February Blahs!

Obvious fact: tomorrow is the first day of march! I'm fairly certain that March is my favorite month. Don't get me wrong all the other months of the year have their good points, and I must say July and September are riiiight after March in my books. March just is so wonderful, there's so many good things about it!

First off, March 20th. Vernal Equinox which means Spring is a comin baby! I love watching the snow melt away, leaving puddles behind for me to walk in. I love knowing that green grass is soon going to be growing, followed by flowers, followed by berries! All hope is not lost, winter will end!

Let's not forget how a week before that, Alberta and Saskatchewan will be running on the same time again, makes life simpler.

Also just days before the first day of Spring is St. Patrick's day. While this really isn't the greatest holiday ever and is used very often as an excuse for drunkeness I still do have Irish roots in me and I like to celebrate. I obstain from beer though thank you very much. I like to celebrate by having friends over for a big breakfast (after all it is a feast day in Ireland), including green pancakes!


There's a couple personal reasons I'm looking forward to March this year. One being that we are having our annual winter retreat at the beginning of the month. It's always a great weekend that I look forward to all year! Also this year my calendar was given to me by Debbie, each month has a picture on it. The March picture is my favorite, ever since she gave it to me at New Years I've been looking forward to having that picture on display, tomorrow it shall be done!

There is one bad thing about March though... Save a Spider Day, March 14. Yik, who wants to do that!
