It’s Hump Day! The groundhog saw his shadow yesterday; guess six more weeks of winter. I did not see any photos of Phil wearing a mask yesterday. Poor little guy had to come out in the cold weather and snow just to give his report.
Yesterday after I posted the wacky holiday countdown, Terry wrote a cute poem about the four wacky holidays for February 2nd. I felt this was a challenge so I did a four line free verse about the wacky holidays which were (to refresh your memory); National Ground Hog Day; Hedgehog Day; National Heavenly Hash Day and National Tater Tot Day. She gave a new vocabulary word which was ACCOUNTABLE. Yes I used it in a four line verse story.
The daily Valentine’s Words for yesterday were BOW and ARROW. The words could be used together or only one of the two.
I used both in my pieces. I did a card verse called LOVE HAPPENS. I’ll use it as a Valentine this month. The second is titled BEING VIGILANT. It focuses on what happens when Cupid shoots his arrow.
I think about Valentine’s Day in school. Oh how I enjoyed getting a box of the little cards with their silly sayings. I’d pick out the cutest for whatever boy I liked in my class. It was also fun to see what type of cards I’d get in return. One year in third grade we made little mail boxes for the classmates to put our Valentine’s into. It was a fun art project.
Tomorrow I’ll have a funny story about an adult Valentine’s Day since I moved to Florida. Leave it to me to have more than one.
Until tomorrow....today’s odd holidays are The Day the Music Died; Four Chaplains Memorial Day (interesting story to Google); National Carrot Cake Day and National Girls and Women in Sports Day. Today I’ll listen to a Buddy Holly song or two; have a good day and as always Safe Safe.

LOVE HAPPENS
Cupid carries a bow and arrow
He will shoot it right at you
When you are hit it will happen
You will fall in love so true
Make sure you are ready
Because LOVE HAPPENS
πππππππππππππππ
BEING VIGILANT
Cupid carries a bow and a few arrows
He will find his victim....always does
Quietly he pulls out an arrow from the
quiver....places it on the bow
Taking careful aim....SHOOTS
Always hitting his target on center....he
never fails
LOVE.....AMOUR....will happen to his victim
During February all must be vigilant
Not to be another casualty of Cupid’s ploy
Unless they are looking to be a fatality of
love
πππππππππππππππ
ACCOUNTABLE
He just stood there dumbfounded
Watching Cupid place an arrow on the bow
Accountable for his own actions
he should have run
But he got hit hard....never realizing he’d be
next to fall in love
π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€
WEIRD HOLIDAY ACTIONS
Bowl of Heavenly Hash for dessert
The Hedgehog watched the news
As the Groundhog predicted six more
weeks of winter
