Today Is the First of March
and the Sun Comes Earlier
and the stars later. Sunup is at 6:34; and sundown is
at 5:51.
With more-daylight we must be "up and doing,"
having finished, we hope, with the short, dull, foggy
days and the roughest of the Winter weather.
Let the birds within our souls begin to sing of
Spring and its flower gardens to be made ready.
Maybe there are some new touches to be put on the
home rooms as suggested by the little mother, who
sees the wear and tear of home things.
It is the height of joy to lighten the glooms with
a lamp and bedeck the old house with a new rug or
picture so that the children with the new rag carpet
on their room will feel that they live a hundred miles
nearer to Heaven than ever before.
We have but one short life on earth to live; let us
try our best to make everybody under the home roof
as happy as possible.
Signed
March 1, 100.
