Good Afternoon Everyone.
It was groundhog day yesterday, and there are some conflicting reports. In Nova Scotia, Shubenacadie Sam, the resident groundhog, has predicted an early spring. This was also the same for Winnepeg’s Groundhog Willow. But she’s a bit of an air head and hasn’t gotten it right for a few years. Ontario’s groundhog, Wiarton Willie is a bit more reliable, famous, and pessimistic. He’s declared another 6 weeks of winter. But then again, we are getting that information second hand from the Mayor of the town where Wiarton lives. The man sports a purple tuxedo and cape, and claims to know fluent “groundhogese.” A likely story.
Out west, we are above that nonsense. Out west, we look to the Cherry trees, and they’ve already started blooming. It is chilly out there - I dare say it is so cold I thought I saw some squirrels sporting some thermal underwear. It is still winter, but I think all the sun shining means that Spring is on its way.
Time to warm up with a little Tisane, today we have a non-caffeinated brew of cinnamon, apples and cloves. Perfect for the winter weather, and the sunny disposition.
