Mini Month

February 1, 2018 (032/365) "They are not long, the days of wine and roses..." - Ernest Dowson... in fact, they are only twenty-eight -- a "mini-month!"

Although many dread another month of darkness and cold winter weather, I rejoice in these twenty-eight days of pretty crimson hues, of hearts and flowers and beautiful snowscapes, punctuated by celebrations of la Chandeleur, the Winter Olympics, Mardi gras, Valentine's Day, and my birthday -- the exclamation point at the end of this lovely month!

Today is both National Croissant Day and National Plan for Vacation Day. Coincidence or is the Universe trying to tell me something?
