February's Gone

I woke up this morning and stared at the morning light as it inched its way across the ceiling. I could tell by the quality of the light that today would be a good one.
As I lay there thinking about the things I needed to do today, I realized that it's the last day of February. Tomorrow, is March 1st and spring will be exactly three weeks away. I've enjoyed the cool weather, but I'll be ready for spring.
When we ran by Wal-Mart today to pick up a roasting chicken, we went through the garden shop to pick up a bag of bird seed and they already have fertilizer and other garden stuff out.
It was all I could do to keep from loading the buggy down. I learned last year, the I need to show a little patience as I got a ton of plants started, but the weather was still too cold when they got to the size for planting.
I had to keep them inside for another week or so and they got tall and spindly. 
By the time warm weather arrived, some of my plants had died. This year I plan to be more patient and time the seedlings better.
So I'd just like to say, so long to February and hello March
