Leap Year


How would you like to have been born on leap year? Just think of it as growing older alot slower than the rest of us! Funny, how February is the month to have a leap year, does anyone really know how this happened? I've always found it odd but hey, a extra day is always good, esp. a friday! I'll be drawing the winning name for the custom clipboard over the weekend so you still have time if you haven't got signed up yet. Just scroll down to clipboards, tell me which one is your favorite and your entered to win one, made just for you!
I'm so glad March is here, the first signs of spring are peeking up through the earth, spring bulbs. Jonquils are always the first to show themeselves around here, so cheery and yellow. Our Home and Garden show is this weekend, always a sign of spring, with giveaways, free trees and tons of ideas. Just about all of us are going right after a hearty breakfast at our favorite cafe. Then a family dinner for a birthday boy, a full weekend with 65 predicted for the high! And don't forget to turn your clocks ahead NEXT weekend, yes, it's early this year, a real sign of spring! Here's hoping your weekend is a good one!

  5. Hi Sue,
    My girlfriend Judy's birthday was on the 29th and so is her daughter's. When Julie was little they made the news on the extra day. Fun!
    I'm glad it is warmer where you are. It is in the 40's and raining here. Lots of bulby things coming up. Yippee!! MB

  6. We're still about a month away from daffodils, but at least it warmed up enough here over the weekend to melt the snow. We've had a snow cover almost non-stop since December, and it's nice to see the ground again. It's probably just for a day though, because the weather man says it's gonna snow every day this week. We are SO tired of winter!

    Hey Sue!

    I was up to see the Leap Year Day come in! Guess why!

    My best friend was having her baby!
    Her daughter and four boys stayed overnight with our family and we prayed prayed prayed for my friend, Mrs. M. Baby J was born at 11:50 p.m. almost a Leap Year baby!

    His family is quite relieved that he'll get older every year. ~smile~ Personally, forever young sounded good. ~big smile~

    I enjoyed your post. Did you notice on my blog that I opened my etsy shop? I only had photos of three things, so I went ahead and got started. I'll add more as I can get my friend to photograph them for me.

    Have a wonderful week, my friend!

    P.S. Isn't the weather crazy? I'm secretly hoping for one more snow because I found a recipe for snow ice cream!

    God bless.
    Laura
    Happy at Home
