I don't normally take to critters. But I sure am loving the thought of the one who didn't see his shadow today. It hopefully means spring is near!
Back during my youth I remember how my grandmother would get up earlier in the morning and be situated before the news came on on Ground Hog Day just to be thrilled by the prediction. She wanted to see whether or not the ground hog saw his shadow. Why? Because if he saw his shadow then it meant we were going to have six more months of winter. If not, spring was near.
I don't know about you but I'm really ready to spring forward after the roller coaster weather we have been having in Hampton Roads lately. We even had a day last week were the temperature was warmer in the evening and at night than it was that morning. I can't say I can remember too many days that has happened.
We have had some crazy weather over the last couple of weeks. When the temperature went up as high as 74 degrees last Thursday, at the end of the month of January and then back down to being cold the next day I was too outdone. But as with anything you have no control over the only thing that can be done is to deal with it. Admittedly, I did like working my light purple sweater with my purple suit with no coat on the nice weather day. Then it was back to wearing a wool coat buttoned all the way up above my neck and covering the lower part of my face on the next day. Talk about crazy.
I'm ready to change wardrobes for the warmer items and keep it that way. I sure hope the ground hog was right today!
I'm ready to Spring Forward!
