Okay, I’ll say it first. March is not my favorite month of the year. It can be torturous for an east coast gardener – in like a lion, out like a lamb type weather. It has thirty one days so it seems to drag on & on. It often has only one holiday, St. Patrick’s Day, which isn’t even a work holiday. That being said, this glass half full blogger is here to remind herself & you why we should be celebrating.
J St. Patrick’s Day is on a Saturday so we can party like we used to. (if you choose)
J Cold-weather vegetables are just itching to be planted. You have to grow some lettuce – at the very least – yumm.
J Daylight savings time is March 11th this year – embrace the new found light!
J The first official day of spring is only 18 days away!
J March is the perfect month to bring in budding branches of forsythia, quince, cherry, Bradford pear & magnolia into the house to force the bloom. Cut branches on an angle & place in tepid water.
J The warm ‘gift’ days that come along with the unique smell of spring.
J Bird songs that start early in the morning when you are just waking up. (or trying to stay asleep!)
J We are in the homestretch & this sometimes unbearable anticipation happens only one month a year!
PS. Best-Dressed Oscar dress winner – Penelope Cruz. Worst – Sandra Bullock (sorry girl, we love ya but what were you thinking?!)
