“February”
our theme for the day
An
annual occurrence, come what may
To
some it seems it’s winter still
With
snow and ice and mucho chill
To
some it’s spring but early days
With
flowers budding through foggy haze
But
soon we’ll hear the gardeners cheer
At
least in the northern hemisphere!

Spring
Fever
I
don't regret craving your touch
I
don't regret loving you
I
don't regret wanting so much
I
don't regret what I want to do
There is a longing, an understanding A
waiting, and hungering, impatient demanding
Each
day accelerating, restless anticipating
Heart
racing, mind reeling, words careening,

A
month of hearts and love,
February
sprouts through the snow rise.
Longer
days with the sun shinng bright,
Dreams
of Spring fill your days.
Weather changes so fast each day, From
warmth to snow over again.
Plans
of future gardens told,
Stolen
minutes to walk the paths.
A month with days that sometimes grow, The
signs tempt us of future months.
The
waiting two into the year,
One
more to go when plants can grow.

Blowing
wind
And
sunny skies
Blustery
cold
February
lies!
It teases spring Then
yanks it back
This
second month
Pulls
us off track.
It's winter cold promising
snow
Then
it's daffodils
Of
golden glow.
Crocus peek and
iris hop
'Oh
yes, it's spring"
then,
'no, it's not!'

When
cold, dark January finally ceases
February
dawns, light increases.
Something
mental turns the bend
February
starts the trend.
It's still cold and it's still winter But
the icy grip begins to splinter.
Here
and there, spring reaches out
One
warm day, one tiny sprout.
Each awaited, each enjoyed. Fill
gardening spirits, break winter's void.
The
weeks are counted to work the ground
Seeds
and flats and pots are found.
So although it's early, nothing really shakin' We
know that soon spring will be breakin'
So
get those indoors chores complete
Soon
will come the annual treat.
The joy, discovery, the wondrous thrill. As
springtime rains release foliage frill.
So
fresh, so new, so simple, grand
The
ageless gift from nature's hand.

The
only thing that I can think to say,
To
describe the joys of February,
Is
that at least there is a way,
To
rhyme the word with January.
The day for lover's comes along In
this month I know,
Cause
north of the 49th parallel,
We're
all buried under snow.
Why they chose this month, I
really cannot say,
Cause
blizzards, freezing rain, and cold,
Are
forecast every day.
It must have something to do, With
the fact that here, instead,
Of
wearing silky lingerie,
We're
into flannel and would rather stay in bed.

Plightful Folly.....
Ooooh the rain was pouring down, thoughts
of drowning came around,
I
had to venture out that day,
needing
varnish for my paint to stay.
Charging
ahead to HomeDepot,
that
is where I had to go.
Went
straight to paint supplies,
but
of course what caught my eye,
a
sale on gauwgious plants you see.
I
fought the urge, Oh woe is me,
Here's
the fact, here's the gist,
Of
what I added to my list
A
group of dahlia's, Oh so bright
Azaleas
too, will fit just right!
Two
green shrubs to smooth it out,
More
Lavender, can't be without,
Iris
with their tops so blue,
Won't
they be the perfect hue?
So
I did confess it right,
To
my Heebee Love last night,
Pronouncing
it a Valentine,
He
said it would be just fine.
Hip
Hurray, Hiddy-Hoe
Where
will all these plants go?

Dig
a hole and dig it deep
Plant
your plants while thunderclouds weep
If
you think you don't have room
Look
again, there's grass there too!

I
don't care if it is brief,
This month offers no relief. It's
still the winter, sad to say--
February,
go away!
I'm
so impatient for the spring,
And
the blossoms it will bring.
No
matter that there's an extra day--
February,
go away!
It
only suits two of my needs:
Valentines
and starting seeds!
In
my garden I long to play--
February,
go away!

If
there was a month to nix
I'd
pick the one that has no kicks
It's
long and boring
Without
a brake
Take
January, for heaven's sake!
Tina :D
January
always brings
the
birthday of Reverend ML King
and
February always us presents
with
a day off to honor two presidents
But
March is long and cold and windy
With
holidays remarkably stingy
Its
really still winter but we want it to be spring
March
is the month that really stings!
Kris (VA)
Though
your folly is well said,
and
I concur with rainy dread,
I
must add a month of my own,
In
August I do thus groan,
Too
hot to think, I stand it not,
To
cool off August I do plot....

February
A month to enjoy The last of the winter cause snow is my toy Shovelling
snow
in
a dirty big pile
Building
it up
for
a domicile
Shovel the lawn Shovel
the street
Shovel
the roof
right
under my feet
February February the
last month of snow
When
it's all over
the
garden will grow
