The first day of spring is this Wednesday, and to quote Bambi, I’m "all a twitter." It’s my favorite season, and I so look forward to leaving the cold, grey days of winter behind. Besides the increase in daylight and warming temperatures, the new buds and unfurling leaves of fresh spring plants are what I really enjoy.

So, yesterday was a holiday. Yep, it was an actual observed holiday. It was Presidents’ Day. Did you think you were getting a day off just because we haven’t had one since the middle of January?
Have you gotten a card for your Valentine yet? With the red heart holiday just around the corner, I began wondering why we send Valentine’s Day cards. We’ve been doing it since preschool, and it’s a big deal. But why? Why are those pink and red perforated cards slipped into a hand decorated shoe box so important?
