Her shop, Lilacs N’ Calico, radiates
from its new location further up the
square on the north side.
It’s near the corner between me and
Sam’s Antiques.
Just looking in her window makes you
smile.
If you bet on the Indiana Colts then
Sunday’s Super Bowl made you
smile.
And Sunday’s weather had to make
even the crankiest person smile.
Sunshine.
Finally.
And temperatures above freezing.
With no arctic wind.
What a break.
What a treat.
The promise of Bluebonnets has been
sighted all over the county.
So have the Indian Blankets (aka
Firewheel or Gaillardia pulchella).

Rain has seen to that.
We might just have a flower-filled
Spring this year.
What a treat that will be.
Especially after the 2006 drouth.
And the Yankee weather this winter.
Brrrrr.
But we ain’t there yet.
Spring’s not official till March 21st.
Still, February is special in its own
right.
It’s the one month that isn’t
pronounced the way it’s spelled.
It has fewer days (which changes
every four years).
And February honors groundhogs,
sweethearts, American presidents,
the Chinese, and Christianity.
Now that’s sumthin’ special.
That’s Mason. |
