February
is known for its celebrations of Groundhog Day, Valentines, and Presidents Day.
It still has that winter chill, but the promise of spring is not far away.
Daffodils peek through, blossoms may start popping in warmer years, and as the
days get a bit longer, the ground begins to thaw. It is a time to plant cold
weather veggies in some places, and still dream of a garden in others. But
whatever the days may bring – it is also a great month to show love to your
family as you take additional steps to get and keep your family prepared. What
better way to love them than to care for them?! This is a month for planning
AND action. Plan the store trips, the garden, and the storage areas. Make use
of this colder month to kick your preparedness plans into gear. Be like Honest
Abe who said, "Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend
the first four sharpening the axe." February is the perfect month to
“sharpen the ax,” and be ready for whatever your future holds!
