Happy Groundhog Day!

Happy Groundhog Day!

According to Punxsutawney Phil (who just saw his shadow this morning) we’ve got 6 more weeks of Winter, not exactly the news I wanted to hear living in the Northeast.

However there’s good news too. Groundhog Day is a fun holiday that reminds us (despite what the groundhog says) that Spring is coming soon.

So sit back and read all about Groundhog Day from an honorary member of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club.

PS – Be on the look-out for some special Groundhog Day blessing from the SquidAngels. See, I told you it was a fun holiday!

This just in…Staten Island Chuck did NOT see his shadow so Spring should come early for New Yorkers this year.

    Winter? What winter? It was 60F yesterday. Haven’t worn my winter coat once.

      I know! It was warm here in Ohio too. Hope we don’t get slammed with snow in February.

      Same here, Jodi.  It’s supposed to be near 70 degrees today!  I think ol’ Phil was winking when he made his prediction.  :)

    Can’t say where I am this winter, but I know the temperature hasn’t been that bad at home, always works that way (for awhile).  Then winter really hits in February.  So I blessed a lens on cabin fever, winter activities for dogs, and one on vacationing in Tenerife.

    This has not been a typical Minnesota winter. Mother nature will still get us but as for now there is no snow on the ground. The Groundhog did not see his shadow here today!

    I enjoy winter, so I’m glad the groundhog gave us six weeks more.  We are not exactly in a cold zone here in southern Virginia, but hope springs eternal, maybe we’ll get some snow!:~)  See you around the galaxy…

    We’ll get 6 more weeks of Winter too, down to 65 degrees this morning, horror! (I live in Southern California)

    I love the top picture! We have had warm weather the past 2 days, but 4-7 inches of snow is suppose to be here by Friday!

    Really love that lens!

    Hi Phil! I was a lucky one and got a special Groundhog Day blessing on my Peggy, the Do It Yourself Kid lens. Yay!

    Groundhog Day. The only holiday we Pennsylvania Dutch can call our own. Go, Phil!

    It’s hot here in Knysna — Winter only starts in June. No groundhogs either — but it’s always nice to bless some lenses!

    Reminds me to watch the movie “Groundhog Day” again…

    I live in Florida if that tells you anything..

    It isn’t quite 60 degrees in Wisconsin but the snowmobile trails are closed and there’s open water on the lake. Nothing like the 6 feet of snow and -45 wind chills we had last winter!

     Hi, I live in the UK and we have snow here at the moment so it is very cold but spring is just around the corner so not to worry. We are lucky here if I think about it as we get all seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumn with all the pretty colours and winter with all the ice and snow ( but mainly rain :) )Happy belated Groundhog Day folks x
