February---GONE! AT LAST!!

To quote Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance:

"For such a beastly month as February, twenty-eight days as a rule are PLENTY!" 

Why does February always seem so damned LONG?  Well, it's over with and we can welcome in March....which isn't exactly April, but it's getting us closer!  Ahhh....I can practically smell the hyacinths now.  So crank up the volume, play this tune---one of my favorite recordings from the 1930's--and dance around the room!  Only 19 more days until spring!!


Here are a few shots of the famous spring ranunculus fields in Carlsbad, California (north of San Diego)--the most vividly-colored thing I've ever seen in nature!
