This weekend marks the end of February. February is a month of false spring, where we have some warm days that lure us out into the sunshine. This weekend proves to be of sunshine and slight melting of snow. We still have a few piles and with brown splotches showing through in the landscape. Turn your face to the sun and let the rays enliven your skin with solar energy. Sunlight this time of the year truly helps us get through the dreariness of the end of winter. Yes, it is almost ended...REJOICE! Gardening is just around the corner.
