WALKING SIERRA MADRE: 

The Social Side by Deanne Davis 

“While it is February, one can taste the full joys of anticipation.

Spring stands at the gate with her finger on the latch!” Patience 

Strong 

“Roses are red, Violets are blue. February is cold and so are you.” 


“Welcome, February! It’s the finale of the football season and the 
time when we let a rodent forecast our future.” 


I realize it’s not quite February yet, but tomorrow it will be. Also, 
the full moon will be best seen tomorrow night. The 2026 Snow 
Moon (February’s full moon) will peak on Sunday, February 1,

2026. Itisconsideredthefirst,ora“super,”fullmoonoftheyear, 

appearing in the constellation Leo near the star Regulus, and will 
be visible throughout the night. Start watching for it tomorrow 
at 2:09 p.m. although the best viewing will be immediately after 
sunset as the moon rises in the east. It will appear full for severalnights around this date, starting today, the 31st, through February

2nd

Goodbye January, hello February! The month of Valentine’s Dayand Groundhog Day, which is Monday! According to legend, if 
a groundhog sees its shadow on this day, there will be six more 
weeks of wintry weather. If it doesn’t, spring is right around the 
corner. For the people in the Midwest, all we can do is hope they 
can dig themselves out before April. We can be glad we don’t live 
there. 

Speaking of Groundhog Day, I’m hoping one of the cable 
channels will show Groundhog Day, the 1993 movie with Bill 
Murray. You remember, the weather guy who hates everybody is 
sent to observe Punxsutawney Phil, the most famous groundhog,
who lives year-round in his burrow at Gobbler’s Knob in 
Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and ends up stuck there day after 

day, reliving the day until he finally quits being so cynical and 

turns into a fairly decent person. 

The 2026 Superbowl is February 8th, Seattle Seahawks vs. 
New England Patriots. This is the game where the best part ofit is the commercials and the food. A 30-second commercial for 
Superbowl LX is priced at approximately $8 million! Due to 
high demand, this rate marks a continued increase from the $7 
million range seen in 2024 and 2025, proving once again that thisis the most expensive advertising spot on television and these 
fabulously expensive spots are more interesting than the game! 
I’ll be watching for the Budweiser Clydesdales, just love seeingthose guys. Chili sounds so good. Guacamole and chips. Bonappetit! 

February is when a lot of famous folks made their appearance 
on the planet, among them: Clark Gable, Norman Rockwell, 
Farrah Fawcett, Charles Lindbergh, Rosa Parks, Babe Ruth,

Reynolds, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Jack Benny, to 
name but a few, and my mother, Betty Jane Sessions, who was 
born February 23, 1920. 

President’s Day will be celebrated February 16th when all the 

Government offices will be closed, which means no mail. All 

the children can sleep late that day as there will be no school. 
February is a really busy month! Winding up with a solar eclipse 
on February 17th. February is also Black History Month. There 
now, enough to keep you totally busy for this nice short month.
Oh! And I almost forgot…Winter Olympic Games, which will be 
held in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, from February 6 toFebruary 22. Figure skating!! 

Let’s take a moment to chat about Valentine’s Day, which is 
February 14th, just two weeks away. A splendid opportunity to tellall the people you love that you love them. Send an email, a text, 
a card, make a dinner reservation, just do something. 

“Love doesn’t make the world go round. Love is what makes the 
ride worthwhile.” 
Franklin P. Jones 
“Where there is love, there is life.” Charles Spurgeon

“The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen 

or even heard but must be felt with the heart.” Helen Keller 
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that 
whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16 


Have a wonderful week and start thinking what you want to do for

champagne can’t hurt, either!
