February 2 is known as "Groundhog Day". The groundhog comes out of hibernation. If he sees his shadow, he goes back into his hole and waits for 6 more weeks of winter.

Give me clues when you can tell spring is almost here. Describe the "clues" that you can see, smell, hear, or touch.
think, maybe even sports?

Nicknames

Many people only know nicknames of people. Someone's nickname might describe his or her likes, their size, or their talents. Or maybe just a shorter version of their long name. Do you have a nickname? If you do does it have special meaning? If you don't write about someone you know who does have. Or write about a nickname you would like to have.

example: My name is Debra Jean I have sometimes gone by the nickname DJ.I really liked DJ better then my name because the name Deb was so popular when I was in school and I liked to be different.
