This month is all about time! It is time to “march” right into spring! It brings about the semi-annual “time” change. This is the time when, if the month comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb (or vice-versa), and either way we will know, spring has sprung! This is the time of year we will celebrate St Patrick’s Day half way through the month, and at the end - it’s time for Easter. And, it is also a GREAT TIME – for preparedness! This is often the month of case lot sales – so take some time to stock up on supplies. This is the time to get much of your garden planted – so take advantage of a wonderful growing season to save money and provide healthy meals for your family. A little time invested in planting will reap a great harvest through the summer and into fall, and even into winter with things you freeze or can. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.” Let us use this months’ TIME – wisely!
