February Flowers

I couldn't resist buying this small bouquet

of flowers while standing in line at the grocery store.

 

 

 

When you have only two pennies left in the world,

 buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other. 

 ~Chinese Proverb

 

 

I don't know if it is even possible to brighten up

the month of February?

 

February, when the days of winter seem endless

 and no amount of wistful recollecting

 can bring back any air of summer. - Shirley Jackson

 

On February 8, 1587,

Mary, Queen of Scots was executed...

(definitely wasn't a good month for her.)

 

 

Mr. b was born in February...

that was a good thing for me.

 

"Winter is nature's way of saying, "Up yours."
-  Robert Byrne
