Sorry for posting a little late this morning. We had a wild wind storm yesterday and lost Internet access. I solved the problem this morning and reconnected my wireless. Hallelujah!
February is a special month to me. Both my daughter and my mother—as well as my late mother-in-law—were born in February. Tonight, my family will gather at my mother’s house to celebrate her 92nd birthday. (She was born on the 24th—but we’re going to have the party today.)
In honor of my mother, I’m posting my favorite February poem.
February Twilight
I stood beside a hill
Smooth with new-laid snow,
A single star looked out
From the cold evening glow.
There was no other creature
That saw what I could see--
I stood and watched the evening star
As long as it watched me.
Sara Teasdale

Happy Birthday to your mother! Beautiful moment captured in the Teasdale poem.
Jama,
My mother is a special person. She helped care for my daughter so I could return to my teaching position.
Happy birthday to your mother and daughter! I LOVE Sara Teasdale's poetry!!
Mary Lee-
Thanks! Our family (four generations) had a lovely 92nd birthday celebration for my mother last night.
