dancing bookworm

hey guys, it was groundhog day yesterday!!! It snowed!!!!yepeee. No shadow for the groundhog. We took this morning off to go for a long walk with the dogs through winterwonderland. I am enjoying it while it lasts, and spring is just around the corner. Ask the groundhog. :D :D :D

;) I sure hope you're right about Spring being around the corner, it's hard to think about when you're dealing with several inches of snow covered ice.
Wind chills here are getting hard to take.
I lost a newborn calf yesterday morning.
I am buying hay although I have plenty I baled myself but cannot get to it. Heckofa thrill when you are sliding sideways in a big tractor with a 1000 lb. bale behind it.
But as the mule once said "this too shall pass"

It works too! If the goundhog sees his shadow, we get 6 more weeks of winter. If he DON'T see a shadow, it's only 5 weeks, 6 days and 11 hours, yippeee....lol.
Seriously, I hope it IS an early spring, I'm ready.

I don't know how accurate it is,but the Old Farmer's Almanac is predicting snow well into April.........at least for where I live.

I need four seasons for my personal well being. Of course, this country is so huge, you can not generalize from Tennessee to Michigan. In three weeks it may be warm enough here to plant peas. But I am glad we got at least some snow and it is cold enough today so it won't melt by noon. The sky is blue and everything looks pretty. Hope this weather kills a lot of the bugs I don't want in my garden.

:) It says snow flurries up to the last week of Feb for TN.... :) With rain and T storms mixed in there.

Although like I said,don't really know how accurate it is......

;D

The original OFA is pretty acurate 3 times out of 4. Wonder which one this is? ;D

[leera]

It would be my luck,that this is number 4..... ;D

Since they get their forecast by averaging what the previous several years weather did, I'd say anybody that's lived in the same area for 15-20 years would be about as good at "guessing" the weather.

I gotta a question.....

What exactly does a dancing bookworm look like?? ;D

[bookwormom]

well, more than likely extremely silly :) ;) :D
