Candlemas Day
If Candlemas be fair and bright,
Winter has another flight.
If Candlemas brings clouds and rain,
Winter will not come again.
Found a neat little history of how we came to celebrate Groundhog Day. Hope y'all enjoy the story of how two cultures blended together for what has become a fun little mid winter diversion. Oh and just so you know, Phil predicts an early spring. YAY!
