February is a short month, but weather-wise it's the coldest and sloppiest of the year. We'll most likely see plenty of snow - from light flurries to old-fashioned noreasters - as well as sleet, slush, ice and even rain. It's hard to get out in nature this month, so instead we'll bring some inside ... forcing branches of forsythia and pussy willow and starting seeds for our spring garden. It's probably too early to look for our snowdrops (also known as Candlemas Bells) but if we get a good week of sun and milder daytime temps, a sprout or two could be found. The days will grow longer and lighter as well ...  Winter's hold sure is tight in February, but there are still signs of Spring if we look closely!

Happy Friday, everyone ~ have a great weekend ~ I'll be back again soon. :)
