hello march!

on the topic of progress, this is where our christmas tree is now. now the birds can have their way with it until the spring. horray!

all last week, every day, i resisted the temptation to change the calendar to march. i thought, "i know it's too soon", but i just wanted to, i knew it would feel so good. but i resisted and finally on saturday i had the pleasure of flipping that page. 

good bye february with your constant snowing and freezing raining and flash flooding, your school vacation and common cold. hello march! i don't mind if you come in like a lion, i know you'll go out like a sweet fluffy lamb.
