March, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...
1. It's my birthday month! It's also the birthday month for many of my cousins and lots of people I've met through the years. I've often wondered if there are so many birthdays in March because of all those June weddings people used to have. :)
2. Green! Here in the south, things really start to green up in March. We're just starting to see it now.
3. Blooms! In front of the backdrop of green is a beautiful array of colorful blooms.
4. Garden time - While it may be safer to plant in April, March is definitely the time to start planning and preparing. And there is always the cool weather garden to plant if you desire.
5. Green! part 2 - Green is my favorite color and you can see it a lot in March due to St. Patrick's Day.
6. Weather - Growing up in Ohio, the weather in March was very unpredictable and often unpleasant. But in Atlanta it is beautiful and sometimes even hot.
7. Lent - While Lent is not my favorite season of the church year, it is a deeply meaningful one. It is a time of reflection and helps me to take my focus off of myself.
8. Summer clothes - Around here the summer clothes start coming out in March.
9. Sandals - Along with summer clothes, it's time to start wearing sandals. Time to break out the toe nail polish again!
10. All in all, I start feeling good in March. Warmer weather, bare feet, beautiful flowers...ahhh!
Why do you like March (or not?) To post your ten items, head on over to Carole's blog.
great list! being a birthday month, but of course! and i agree with #7. i completely forgot about #9, but so true! in my case, i need to make sure and get a little sun on my feet first so as not to blind and injure anyone.

Great list. I agree with 9 and 10. I have already had on flip flops...now I really need a pedicure before I start getting out in public.

No flip flops for me until May or so, but I can't wait for them!

March must be way easier to like where you live!

March is still too cold for sandals here. Happy March Birthday!

Wow! You do love March! The only thing I could add to the list is Spring Break ~ which, this year, means a long visit with grandchildren!

I love your list -- green is a sight for sore eyes (we are excited at the moment to finally see dead grass rather than all the snow). We have tiny tiny shoots but no leaves or blooms of any kind yet. I can't wait!
On your previous post, Chris and I went to Savannah for our honeymoon. It is such a beautiful old city. I would have given anything to go to SCAD when I was younger.
