February 2nd is Groundhog Day. Every year. It rolls around like Halloween, Christmas, birthdays…same date every year. And every year I forget about it.
Husby never forgets it though, and for the past very many years he has given me a card to mark the “holiday.” This is what I woke up to this morning:
The best thing about the Groundhog Day cards from Husby is that they’re handmade. He does the artwork and the touching sentiments. I was stunned to see a 3D card this year.

What’s more exciting than a 3D groundhog made by your husband?!
I can just picture him, sitting in his office, cutting out and putting together a paper groundhog, and thinking up a springtime verse to go with him.

What a poet!
I was feeling a little blue the past couple of days, but finding this fun Groundhog Day sentiment waiting for me first thing in the morning cheered me up a lot. I’m glad I forget about Groundhog Day because the card is that much more meaningful and fun when I don’t expect it.
In my part of the world I’m pretty sure the groundhog saw his shadow; it’s a bright, sunny day in Minnesota. Happy Groundhog Day everyone, and may your springtime be right around the corner.
Pardon me, Sara, but I think I love your husband! What a sweet man! Great post…hope Spring is waiting in the wings for us.
Love away, Cindy! He was flattered and even blushed a little when I read your comment to him. He’s a keeper!
Sara he is very special, may the sun shine your way soon and you feel a flutter of spring in the air.
I’d be grateful if the temperature got above zero! Thanks for the compliment on Husby. He’s been reading the comments to this post and is getting all bashful about the ladies’ attention. But he loves it!
That is the sweetest thing EVER! I’m so glad I saw this on Facebook 🙂 Totally made my day, Sara.
Thanks Andrea! Stuff like this makes us feel like kids again!
He’s definitely a keeper! It really does warm my heart for him even more when I hear about these thoughtful ways he shows his great love for you!
I think it’s more about a love for groundhogs.
But seriously, that he takes time out to brighten my day means a lot to me ~ I’ll never take it for granted. Thanks for checking in Ruthie!
