Today was Candelmas Day

No you don't have to give presents or anything like that. It just means that there are other critters who might or might not see their shadow and crawl back in their lairs for the rest of the winter. This all depends on what country you may be living in at present. It might be a bear or woodchuck or badger but you get the idea. Which reminds me the beavers should be back soon but since there's more photos of pussies I just might stick with them. I think we'll have a short winter this year, El Nino you know. The dogwood out front has been in bloom for a couple of weeks now and the bulbs are throwing up shoots in the last few days.

Wow that is early for a dogwood hope you're right. The idiot from Alaska decided Alaska has no groundhogs so they would start having a marmot day!

Sarah Palin shot the marmot. It's right there on her plate next to the mashed potatoes.

It sure doesn't look like I'm going to be able to use my snowplow this year, and that's fine with me.

I've shot a lot of groundhogs but never thought to eat one.

Eastern Washington is having an incredibly mild winter, too. Had 1.46 inches of snow this January. Had 40-plus inches last January, although it seemed like a lot more at the time because we got buried throughout December.

As welcome as the relative mild is, I envy you those early signs of spring.

BTW, early spring flunked the Punxatawny Phil test. I like your kitty better.

I'm glad we don't have to exchange gifts because I ran out of candles long ago.
