BLOOMFIELD
FACTS ABOUT FEBRUARY In the northern hemisphere, February is the equivalent to the third month of winter. In the southern hemisphere, it is the third month of summer. The tendinous part of the mind, so to speak, is more developed in winter; the fleshy, in summer. I should say winter had given the bone and sinew to Literature, summer the tissues and blood. ~ John Burroughs, “The SnowWalkers,” 1866 GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER
