Tomorrow is Groundhog Day

Post by oldcoot »

Do ou know why it is on Feb 2nd. OC didn't either until the WC said this morning that Feb 2nd is half way from the Winter Soltifced to the next one. Not bright enough to know which THAT one is.

Enjoy 6 weeks of more bad weather.....John

Our winter was just a week long-just after Thanksgiving. :( I'm thinking that we need some winter here. I wonder if the hosta will know that they have had a rest?
