Groundhog Day


PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL PICTURED HERE

"According to folklore, if a groundhog emerging from its burrow on this day fails to see its shadow, it will leave the burrow, signifying that winter will soon end. If on the other hand, the groundhog sees its shadow, the groundhog will supposedly retreat into its burrow, and winter will continue for six more weeks." WIKIPEDIA

CODE BLUE

Everyone has been complaining about the cold and CODE BLUE we have been under. I am not criticizing people for complaining; it is cold. But this was the first time I saw this....



A tree with a scarf. I walked across Rittenhouse Square this morning to spot this beauty. It looked hand made to me! Are the other trees jealous?
