This was ground hog day. For those of you who follow the ground hog to see if he sees his shadow, "he did". What that usually means is that it was sunny in Pennsylvania today as it was here in New England. Had he not seen his shadow, we would, have had an early spring. Now we won't. It will be six more weeks of winter bliss.
People who know about these things, and have been using the ground hog for years as an indicator for springtime maintain that it is accurate. I really haven't paid much attention to that but every year we use ground hog day as a marker. Spring has to come sooner or later.
I think it will be an early spring, irregardless of the ground hog's shadow. Others have said the same thing. It's a gut feeling I guess. It will be interesting to see who will be right.
I enjoyed the day, as I always do when the sun is so bright in the morning. It gets me in a cleaning mood. Hope you had a brilliant day. At least we are now in February. Valentine's month. (If your into that type of thing). I will enjoy looking at all the flowers knowing that it won't be too much longer until we see leaves and grass and enjoy the bulbs that we planted in the fall. Now for those valentine surprises...Only a couple of weeks away.
