Holy Ground Hog Day




On this mommentous day - I have always truly believed that, since there are an awful lot of ground hogs, that each locality has its own little wild critter that pokes its nose out just after dawn on February 2 and then goes back to bed, for either 6 weeks, or 5 weeks and 6 days. Although we never actually see her, we do see our shadows, or not. This year it was sunny and warmer - so shadows - so 6 weeks. It's not over yet.

I wrote this as a commnet on Debbie's blog and then decided that it also suited my own little contribution. Here is evidence of melting snow - dirty snow.

And then there is this furry varmit who hasn't left the sofa all day and evening. Moreover, she hasn't ventured out in days. She is unfamiliar wih ground hogs and a failure at weather prediction. That is except when she washes behind her ears, which is a sure sign of rain.

I am officially inviting your furry little varmint to come wash behind her ears here in Sunny California. (We desperately need the rain!) : D

Hope you enjoyed GH Day! We just finished watching the movie and are now exhausted from laughing ourselves silly. Tomorrow promises to be another sunny day, but hopes of rain are forecast for later in the week.

p.s.
Dirty snow is SO SAD! Hope it melts soon for you.
