��Here’s a bit of blog-trivia for you..
��As BJ guessed, the first month of the year has the highest number of family celebrations at 22.��
��The months of April, August and November are all tied for second place at 20 celebrations each.��
����Fittingly enough, December closes out the year with the lowest count of 9.��
��The whole year boasts 192 family celebrations������������. Watch for 13 of them in February.��
Cheers!����

🙋♀️Hi Edward! Thanks for pointing out that we get an extra day to enjoy this February🗓. We intend to do exactly that on the 29th of this ‘leap month’.🤸🏽♂️
👨🏼💻A number of sources are also reminding us that this particular date in February is a numerical palindrome - 02/02 2020 - it reads the same forwards and backwards‼️. Apparently that does not happen very often; (we are content to take the word of the experts on that).👩🏻🎓
🦔This is also Groundhog Day and word has it that Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow when he emerged from his burrow this morning🌞. So, we can expect an early spring🌱. At least the odds are even on that playful prediction🎲.
🙋♀️Hi Christine, Thanks for transferring over the blog-trivia that I posted on January 31.🖌 In doing so, you’ve discovered that the stickers I attach to the text 🤪 do not fare very well in such an exchange⁉️. Instead, a question mark appears where an emoji used to be.❓ I discovered the same problem when I tried to preview an entry before posting it.👩💻 Now, I preview the text👀 before adding the stickers ✍🏻 and pressing the ‘publish’ button🔘. Even then, some stickers don’t make it.🥺
📤Anyway, the fun facts have made their way into February’s strand, thanks to you.🤙
🍑Greetings from us in Peachland where winter is renewing its hold on our valley⛄️. Just two days ago, the groundhog was predicting an early spring🌿. Today the temperature has dropped and we’re looking out at a blanket of fresh snow🏔.
