Wintertyde 2015 wraps up on Friday February 6th. Are you prepared?

Yes, the final day of Wintertyde is February 6th. On this day remove your Wintertyde wreaths, and put them away for storage. Also, your Wintertyde tabletop tree comes down and gets packed up for the year. Wintertyde 2015 flew by...but then that's the idea: to make Winter speed by before it can entrap you in "Winter blues."

OK, trust you made a wonderful baked onion soup for Saint David's Day. Once Wintertyde is adopted by more people, there will be more to do with Saint David's Day, such as sending cards, etc. Accuweather says March first was the end of "meteorological Winter." I think this means temperature-wise. There's still a gap until the first day of Spring on March 20th. Fill this gap by switching into Saint Patrick's Day mode. Create wreaths wrapped in Kelly green with a bit of Ulster orange. Make sure one is ready to go up bright-tailed a bushy-eyed on March 7th, the day after the end of Wintertyde. Get yourself through Saint Pat's and Spring is a few more days afterward. You have survived Winter.
