February and special days

February is living up to its reputation for bad weather but it could always be worse.  Though it is  our shortest month, February has more than its share of special days, like Mardi Gras.  Oh, sorry. this year Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, comes March 4..

February loses Ash Wednesday, first day of Lent, March 5, but keeps the day of lovers, Valentines Day, February 14, which also happens to be my brother Jon's birthday, and  my mother's birthday is  the 26th.   President's Day  is  February 17 I but I  recognize  Washington's birthday February 22.

Some of us will never forget that we began the battle for Iwo Jima on February 19.
