I'm a country girl, so I'm not naive enough to believe a critter will bring spring or vex us with more winter. I know that we still have dogwood winter and whippoorwill winter and blackberry winter to go through before we can say that warmer weather is here to stay. But I have to admit I'm ready to recite my favorite verses of scripture.
For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; Song of Solomon 2:11-12
Fills me with peace and makes me anxious all at once.
Here's wishing you a Happy Groundhog Day!
