Second Last Day

Did you know that tomorrow is the last day of February? I'm sure you did!

29th February is of course a very special day especially if you were born on it! For instance if you were born in the fabulous year of 1964...on 29th February...you'd be 11 tomorrow (instead of 44!!!)

Are you a Leap Day Baby (born on 29th Feb)??? Or a leapling (as youngest DD calls them)

The tradition of a woman being able to ask a man to marry her on 29th is believed to have started in 5th century Ireland when St. Bridget complained to St. Patrick about women having to wait for so long for a man to propose. According to legend, St. Patrick said the yearning females could propose on this one day in February during the leap year.
