For those of us who are still digging or chipping out of the most recent weather in the northeast, this may not be a day to celebrate.  I live with two teenagers and neither seemed to excited to find out that today was the day I focus in on Punxatawney, Pennsylvania.  Some day I will join the throngs who are there on February 2.

Unfortunately, the Weather Channel has informed me that there is sun in Punxatawney.  I can’t imagine as I am only slightly north and I haven’t seen sun for a few days.  Anyway, that means six more weeks of winter.  I guess I am happy for six more weeks as that may mean we don’t get snow in April.

On another note, I read in Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach that today is Candlemas Day.  The books suggests living by candlelight today.  For those of you who think you are of a certain age and can use a nicer light, try lighting the candles today and enjoy!
