  1. There are so many things, but I guess my faavorite would be knowing that school is almost out for the summner (I'm an aide). Of course there is that "green" thing, too. And to think that I used to not like green...

  5. In Oregon "green" is normal for me but the daffodils, crocus and other flowers are blooming now! I love so many of the celebrations you listed here, I can't begin to list them all! Bring it on March!!

  6. My favorite color is green! I find the spring so inspiring as there are so many different gorgeous colors of green everywhere. For the past few weeks I see bits of green peeping out in my gardens as my mini daffs are getting ready to bloom and I cannot wait to see them once again.

    Also I see it is going to be National Chocolate Chip Cookie Week ... time to start baking. ;)

  8. March is also National Music in our Schools month. As a former music teacher, I always had to do a concert during this month to celebrate it.
