Hello Lovelies!
Believe it or not, I want it to snow right now. I understand folks are enjoying the unseasonably warm weather, but it just doesn’t sit right with me. We need some snow! Something just doesn’t feel right in the world if there aren’t any snowmen, snowball fights or snow angels. So, I am glad that Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow yesterday. Now, will there actually be six more weeks of winter? We will see, but I welcome it.
So before the snow hits, enjoy the weather. There are some great events going on this weekend. For Black History Month events, click here for a whole list of events at the Smithsonian.
Enjoy the weekend!
Peace, Love and Blessings,
