Yes, 6 more weeks of winter :) .... Happy GHD (Groundhog Day) everyone :)

  
Originally we were headed to Punxsutawney, PA this weekend to celebrate Groundhog Day. I love the movie and I love the goofiness of such a silly holiday. So 8 months ago I reserved flights, rental car, & accommodations to head off for our first trip to Punxsutawney, PA to join in the frigid festivities, but I wasn't really feeling it after Dad passed so I cancelled the trip. Lord willing, I'm kicking it to 2027 and will celebrate it in person then. But we are enjoying GHD today with a walk at the park, some decorations, yummy food, and of course - the movie. Happy GHD people... a silly "holiday" originally made to break up the monotony of long dark winters back in 1886/87... which serves as a reminder that breaking up monotony & starting new traditions can only be one silly idea away & the will to just do it. Whatever it is, I love GHD :)
 
UPDATE: According to The Weather Channel news: "Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow Sunday morning in central Pennsylvania. That means we could see six more weeks of winter, at least according to Groundhog Day lore."
