February blossoms

My good friend & neighbor showed me flowers that bloom in the snow here in Ohio in January & February. I planted the starts in several locations & now am enjoying blossoms in the cold weather! They multiply too.  How exciting to see flowers in the snow.

Ground Hogs Day

So..... that little furry rodent is about to forecast how much more winter we have to endure.  I just read some statistics that say he is only right 29% of the time.  Not great odds for him to receive such acclaim. Personally I don't like groundhogs because they make a mess of the landscape when they move in. In the woods they cause my horse to shy or even trip in their holes. They take over abandoned barns especially ones where their is an absence of cats domestic or feral. My Golden likes to chase them & once was in a face to face battle with a very rotund fellow.  I had to get a pitchfork & intervene to separate them.  Fearing the groundhog got the worst of it, I went back to see a few minutes later but he was gone!  My dog had a lot of small cuts on her face & paw so we were off to the vet for antibiotics.
Remember the movie a few years back? Or maybe you would like to forget it!  I'm sure you will be able to catch it on those movie channels this week.
Groundhogs Day is sure sign of spring coming just like all of those new realtor signs that are popping up.  Get your home listed! Get out there & look if you are buying!  Lots of great homes are waiting for you.
