March 1

Can you believe it? It's March. Spring is less than 3 weeks away, and Easter not far behind. Hopefully, by the end of the month,  the wave of snowstorms that have rocked the Midwest will be over, flowers will be blooming and the sun will be shining overhead.
But today it's March 1. Here's a few things that make it special:
March 1, 1781, the Articles of Confederation were instituted.
March 1, 1790, the first census was authorized in the United States
March 1 is Justin Beiber's birthday.
March 1 is Ron Howard's birthday.
March 1 is Robert Conrad's birthday
March 1, 2012, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was on the NPR best seller list.
March 1, 2012 Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy was on the NPR best seller list.
March 1 (2013) is.......Friday, the beginning of the weekend. Enjoy.

Oh Sandra, I'm so glad to see March. It is a hopeful month. Last year on the 2nd we had a dump of 10" of snow but by the 15th my snow drops were blooming. The 16th is my son's birthday, and on the 17th we'll be eating corned beef and cabbage.

Ah yes, the Ides of March. Coming in like a lamb here. Will probably go out like a lion. Happy weekend, Sandra!

March 1st is also StDavid's day which is the national day in our beloved Wales :)

Sandra Cox said...

You have a great one too, CJ.

Sandra Cox said...

10" of snow! Yikes, Rhobin!
Happy bday to the boy.

Sandra Cox said...

Hey Julia, No bad weather here today, but it was cold, brrr. Not a lion, not a lamb. Hmmm, not sure what animal its imitating.

Sandra Cox said...

I hope you've had a wonderful St. David's Day, Dezmond.Thanks for sharing the info. I didn't realize that.

I can't believe it's March. Winter is still active by me, but at least it's getting closer to garden time.

Woohoo :-)

PS: Though I do enjoy a good snowstorm.

Sandra Cox said...

Whisk, I don't mind snowstorms that are of the day variety. Look pretty one day gone the next:)
I've turned into such a lazy gardener the last few years. sigh.

DEZMOND said...

I'm not from Wales, I just love it because of Catherine Zeta Jones and Luke Evans :)

I too am glad to see the back side of February. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy was an excellent book.
