There is a lot of summary coverage of yesterday's groundhog declarations of spring early/late. Our own prediction from Wiarton: Wiarton Willie (Groundhog) - shows a novelty outfit that Mayor Janice Jackson is wearing. The movie Groundhog day comes to life or is based on real life!
There are lots of predictions so I asked how many Wiarton Willie's there are. You might have guessed it: there are lots and lots. The most famous one is Punxsutawney Phil (PA) of Groundhog Day movie fame.
There's a website listing all the known groundhog day celebrations by town/state and it lists what each 'groundhog' is - Check out the full list HERE and find out that Harrisburg's is a dog dressed as a bear pretending to be a groundhog.
There are/is taxidermied groundhogs, stuffed groundhogs, Gophers, Hedgehogs, Nutria, Skunk, White Squirrel, Armadillo (TX), Chicken (NY), Duck, Bullfrog, Aardvark, Owl, sock puppet, Beaver, and Otter. I wonder what makes us call it Groundhog Day.
Typically the month of February has a colour palette themed around red. I particularly like the Mardi Gras Colour Palette below, as it has an alternate palette with more colours in it. The Colour trends for winter 2021 keep referencing Ultramarine Green and Sheen Green. So who knows where February will get to during Pandemic winter 2021?
It definitely is colourful and that's great for a white winter wonderland outside.
Our image today has two hearts perfectly full of February reds.
