These Boots Are Made For ...

Do you remember the song "These Boots Are Made For Walking"? Well, these boots are made for something else. Presumably there was a hope that the fencepost topping boots will delay or stop decay in the posts -

February

There's a special day for every day of the month of February, some are more special than others –

2/2 – Groundhog Day is almost a holiday in parts of Pennsylvania as a poor groundhog is roused from its winter sleep to, supposedly, forecast the end of winter.

2/3 – Carrot Cake Day

2/5 – Ice Cream for Breakfast Day – yum, yum.

2/14 – Valentine’s Day

2/17 – Random Acts of Kindness Day.

2/25 – National Clam Chowder Day.


Pick your favorite day of the month.
