Today is my DH`s favourite holiday. There is no religious significance, no present giving, no decorations to gather, no dumb songs playing endlessly on the radio. It is just one wonderful day celebrating the lowly whistle pig! The only sad part is kitty and I are celebrating on our own this year, as DH is off on a job site. Tomorrow Win and I are going out for supper to celebrate the day. After all, it is only right that she spends the holiday with her family.
According to environment Canada, we are in for below normal temperatures for the months of February, March and April. Maybe the ground hog has it right! Show your head for one day, then burrow back into your warm home for six more weeks of sleep. Sounds like a plan to me.
To you and yours, Happy Ground Hog Day!
we’ve had our sausage already ;P
Thanks for the card…cute and I had forgotten. Down here, everyone is commenting that we have the only warm sunny place in the US. Maybe 70 (21) no wind and a rain/snow storm is moving in tonight. Just took the dogs for a walk …think beautiful spring day and yes, someday you too will have spring in NB.
trust the HOG
You should have seen the look on Kaytlyn’s face a few years ago when I explained how our family celebrated. Now she gets into it as much as I do.
It’s certainly worth it to make such a big deal out of a winter holiday- it’s not like we have that many to spare.
Do tell!
Addison, just think how much fun it will be to pass this tradition on to your daughter.
