JANUARY

 

I love it when January comes to its end -

like today, January thirty-first - finally.

It has its holidays - good - but it's over.

February is so much shorter, January

comes from the name of Janus, the

Roman god meaning a new beginning.

It has new beginnings - but it's over.

February means we’re heading towards

March – which was once the first month.

February is the shortest month. We’ll

probably get some snow and some cold –

but Spring will be on its wing. I’d never

want to live in Florida or warm places.

I want 4 seasons – weather reports –

and the variety in the unexpected.

What does February the 1st look like?
