Feb 5 – Weatherman Day

5 Feb

This day is a pet peeve for me. The day to honor Meteorologists. Well aside from the fact that I thought meteorology was the study of meteors growing up leading me to a huge disappointment, I sincerely don’t believe in it. I don’t think you can accurately know anything about the weather. It can change it an instant. Weather forecasts are wrong so often. It’s rained on days where it promised to be sunny and has been sunny on days that were impending snowstorms. Mother Nature will not be sniffed out easily. But either way, in honor of today, here’s my forecast for tomorrow.

The other thing that bothers me about predicting the weather is the reason. It’s not something I want to be preoccupied with. I much rather live in the moment. Deal with it as it comes. I don’t like to worry about something that I can’t avoid anyways. Who cares if it’s going to snow all weekend. I can’t make it not snow. I can either brave the cold or stay indoors but knowing a week in advance only plants a seed in my mind that I’d rather not water. So be skeptical about those weather reports. The best kind of report you can get is by stepping outside.

Feb 2 – Groundhogs Day

2 Feb

Today is the day our closet’s fate is decided. Do those big puffy jackets have to keep taking up space or can we do some spring cleaning soon? This lies in the hands of someone without hands at all. In fact, a creature with paws. If Phil the groundhog doesn’t see his shadow, we can hope for an early spring. 

So in celebration of seeing shadows, I decided to do a little shadow puppet show.

Its ridiculous that we entrust this creature with a meteorological forecast (even though he’s been wrong 15 out of the last 25 years) but I guess its fun.
