Groundhog Day!

Once again, favorite holiday rolls around...on Sunday, Feb. 2.  This year the commemorative item (embroidered on home-dyed wool) incorporates the rain theme...

And happily I can report that we DID have a bit of rain last week. A very very small bit, more like a heavy mist, but still, it was a bit, and we are glad for every drop.  Gilly is pointing out some of the drops on the picnic bench at the dog park:

So, for those of you enduring a bitterly cold winter, I hope the groundhog will predict an early spring ...and for those of us having an unseasonably warm, dry winter,  I hope the groundhog will persuade a few clouds full of lovely wet raindrops to come our way.  That's all for now...

NEWS FLASH!  The above post was published at 8:49 last night...this morning we awoke to the sound of what???...could it be?...yes I think it is!  The sound of rain!  A little more serious than last week's...we'll see. Thank you, Powers that Be. Here's eyewitness part of the report:
xoxo, s.

    1. Hi Penny, thank you! We don't, to my knowledge, have groundhogs out here, so I've never seen one with my own eyes. We have gopher like critters and ground squirrels

    2. Blogger didn't want to let me finish my thought! Which was that Gilly has a way or sitting on her haunches with her paws up and I think she looks a bit groundhogish!
