Musings

 

 

The blues and blahs that often plague January have long ended; and February—well, what a fabulous February we had—another major snow (Aren’t snow days the best!) and a New Orleans Saints Super Bowl Victory! While many of us went from visions of sugar plums to visions of fleur-de-lis dancing in our heads, and while our February surprises were fairly fantastic, we are so glad to welcome March—the Renaissance month, the stage where spring first “struts her stuff.”
We’ll mark mini-milestones this month by shedding those coats, packing away those sweaters, and basking in Zepher’s warm winds. We’ll commemorate the “wearing o’ the green” on St. Patrick’s Day that complements the greening of nature all around us. And we’ll give in to the temptations of spring fever by enjoying the multiple springtime events offered in so many of our communities. You’ll want to attend every single one; but should that not be possible, we suggest that you certainly take in the following in our life along and beyond the Mississippi.
Check out the details for these events in our March…Up and Coming!
