The Not Month
February is a month of nots; it's not really winter, but it sure isn't spring, either. It's like a house guest that's outstayed it's welcome... you'd like to get on with spring, but this obstinate month refuses to leave. Even the birds are anxious: flying here and there in noisy bunches, checking out the best nesting spots, but knowing they just have to be patient, for February is still here, hanging around, in no hurry to go. I think I'll go out and see if any new flower bulbs are coming up.
