If
the sun shines on Groundhog Day;
Half the fuel and
half the hay.
Living
in Pennsylvania, Groundhog Day is a huge deal.
And as you know by now Punxsutawney Phil has predicted six more weeks of
winter. And if this winter continues to
be like this…..
BRING
ON SIX MORE WEEKS! The kids are even
excited for more winter because they have not used a single snow day. As it stands now, barring no use of snow
days, they will get an extended Easter vacation and every Friday off in
May. A whole month of four day school
week! Hell I would have loved that as a
kid too.
So
what has been happening….
my little puppy (all 163# of him ) had a tumor on his
leg so he was left at the vets Thursday night.
Having never been alone he was very stressed out. Friday morning found him in surgery which went
great. I took him back in for them to
check on it on Monday and he has to return on 2/9 for stitch removal and we
will find out the pathology results.
While
he was in surgery I was taking #2 son to the Doctor. He had a sinus infection and an ear
infection.
Sunday we went to see #1
daughter, Sir T and Baby O. I did not
have a sniffle before I left but while there my nose was like a broken
faucet. We left early and my sickness
continues. The sinus part has now
lowered it sites on my throat and chest. Yippee!!! But I can finally breathe through my nose
again so I am not complaining!
#2
son turned 16 on Tuesday. He is my baby
and it is so hard to believe he is 200 pounds and over 6 foot. We are holding off the cake and ice cream
until this weekend when #1 & Sir T are here to attend. #2 daughter will be
doing the cake decorating as she has been learning how in foods class.
While
being sick I haven’t had the urge to knit or spin. I have been reading though.and organizing seeds.
Groundhog day is usually the day I have the seed orders in by. This year I went through my saved seeds and
older packages and I didn’t place an order.
My local feed store offers seeds from most of the catalogues I get
including the heirlooms. So I am saving
on shipping and using the stash.

Hope this illness is very short lived for you. Feel better real soon! Spring can't be far away!
I'm sorry you are not feeling well, and I hope it passes quickly.
I have not had a single complaint about our Winter this year, either. I may never see another like it, so I'm really enjoying it while it's here. Truly living in the moment. :)
Take care, and get well soon.
