Happy Groundhog Day!!! (A day late)

I'm late, but the good news is that there was no shadow so spring is near!!!  I know those of you getting hit by the ice and snow storms want that to be true.

The news from Punxsutawney, Pa., this morning (oops, yesterday) was just what we wanted to hear: Spring will come early this year, thanks to good old Phil predicting the winter, just as he's done for 125 years (longest living groundhog ever?).


For 125 years, the country has watched Punxsutawney Phil, a groundhog with a mission, crawl out of his burrow on Feb. 2. If he sees his shadow, boom, we're stuck with winter for six more weeks. If he doesn't, it means we've got only two more weeks to trudge through (and with the storms that have walloped the country this year, that's happy news).
