February is my least-favorite month of the year, as it marks the birthdates and deathdates of several loved ones, not to mention over-hyped "Valentine's Day". Thankfully, it is also the shortest month of the year! On top of that, February 2010 was the worst month for snow last winter. I was afraid of a 2011 repeat, following a January in which we were clobbered every few days. Fortunately, my fears were for naught.

In March, I am looking forward to having my daughters home for spring break followed by a White Oak quilt retreat!
