It's a good month to have a baby, you can stay snuggled indoors and not feel at all guilty. Now of course over 30 years later, we get to celebrate twice in one month, so it's still a good month for us.Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-8089651710784309262020-02-04T19:20:28.913+00:002020-02-04T19:20:28.913+00:00I really enjoyed reading about February in my alma...I really enjoyed reading about February in my almanac.<br />Love the illustrations in your childrens book, so pretty.

Or was it something built into them like intuition, some kind of pagan knowledge that has died a death over the years. It is so fascinating having this connection with them.Joan (Devon)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-43850605869722724332020-02-03T09:34:33.172+00:002020-02-03T09:34:33.172+00:00What a delightful book.

In the days before industry the seasons probably never altered much, but with our climate change you can get heatwaves in February and snow in July!!
