Happy Groundhog Day! 🌤️🐾
Groundhog Day, celebrated on February 2nd, is a fun tradition where a groundhog emerges from his burrow to “predict” the weather.
🌞 If he sees his shadow → six more weeks of winter
🌷 If he doesn’t → an early spring is on the way
What do you think this year’s prediction will be? Are you team Winter or team Spring? ❄️🌼
