Groundhog Day… (readers outside of North America, read here) I love the possibility of early Spring. Being a Pennsylvania resident, it’s a big deal, after all it’s our groundhog that is the infamous one.
However, I never understood the logical behind the prognostication. Seeing your shadow should signal that it’s sunny and thus have an early Spring, not 6 more weeks of winter. Andhow trustworthy is his prediction anyway? Two weeks ago he was gallivanting at the PA farm show, not hibernating. hmm…
Do You See What I See?
Regardless of his prediction, this week I spotted my daffodil popping up through the soil. Usually this time of year it’s my crocuses.
Hey Punxsutawney Phil, BRING IT ON!
