It's finally February. Oh, I love January with its fresh beginnings and brand new year, but even without the snow we usually have, I'm tired of white and ready for red. Yes, my months come in colors. January is white for snow, February is red for Valentines Day, March is green for St. Patrick's Day, April is pink and yellow for Easter, May is purple for lilacs, June is primary colors for sunny beach days, July is red, white, and blue for the fourth of July. Aug. is orange and yellow for crops, September is brown, red, and yellow for the leaves, Oct. is black and orange for tradition, Nov. is purple, brown, and orange for the cornucopia, and Dec. is red and green. These aren't exact, but when I was a teacher, I needed to do a seasonal bulletin board and these were my basic colors.
I love February. There's Groundhog Day, Valentines Day, Abraham Lincoln's birthday, George Washington's birthday, and it's the shortest month. What's not to love?
I will love every day this month because next comes March with its unpredictability and strange weather changes. I'm loving our "spring thaw." But green is a great color, so March has something going for it. Hope you liked my calendar color coding. We elementary teachers have to do something to keep the cute little rug rats smiling.
Do your months come in colors? When you turn a page, do you just think "white?" Any other teachers think like I do? Anyway, have a very colorful day.
LOL! I like the way you think. I definitely associate certian colors with the months!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very strange year for us with no snow really yet here in NY. Very odd and very brownish green everywhere and I love it. :O)
ReplyDeleteWow, I never thought to do this, Nancy. But I love colors, so I must take my mental crayons and brushes and color each month in my mind. This one is def. red, for Valentine's and my anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI DO think "colors" for the various months! Probably does come from my teaching experience - bulletin boards, etc.
ReplyDeleteMy mom was an elementary school teacher for 30 years--I'll have to ask her if she succumbed to the "monthly colors" principle! :o)
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's all about my Disneyland antenna balls! Yup, I have one for every season! My van is currently decorated with my pink-with-red-hearts Mickey Mouse head (or perhaps it's Minnie!).
I love February because it's my birthday month. My birthstone is amethyst, which is my favorite color. So, for me February is more purple than any other color, although I do love hearts. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sooo excited February is here! I'm a room mom at school, and we're having red and white ice cream floats for the Valentine's party. Should be fun!
ReplyDeleteI love your colors for the months! Yes, I tend to think in colors, I guess it's the teacher in my coming out:)
