GROUNDHOG DAY - 2nd February
As I loved the film so much just a quick post to wish everyone a Happy Groundhog Day.
Groundhog Day is a traditional festival celebrated in the United States, Canada and parts of Australia (particularly in South Australia, in the region in and around the capital city of Adelaide) on February 2. It is a cross-quarter day, midway between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox.
In traditional weather lore, if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day and fails to see its shadow because the weathe is cloudy, winter will soon end. If the groundhog sees its shadow because the weather is bright and clear, it will be frightened and run back into its hole, and the winter will continue for six more weeks.

Hi Ruth ~~ Glad to see some flowers in your garden even in Winter.
Thank you for your visit and I am glad yu enjoy the posts. I don't know
why it is hard to comment. I havr found that on even my brother's site as well as others. One day, Blogger might get it all fixed. Thank you and
take care. Love, Merle.
Reporting here from metro New Jersey that neither local groundhog (Staten Island Chuck or the more famous Puxatawney Phil) saw his shadow. Therefore, for once, spring is going to be early this yeawr!
That's good news Maugirl...let's hope the early Spring comes to us too.
