Happy Ground Hog’s Day!

February 2 marks the half-way point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox, a day known as Candlemas Day. In the early Christain church, Candlemas Day was a festival in which the candles for the remainder of the year were blessed. In our ancestor’s time, it was also the day for taking stock of supplies. On February 2, one should have:

1/2 hay, 1/2 wood, 1/2 food remaining.

A good time for inventory! Off to the root cellar and freezers!
