Groundhog saw his shadow...Groundhog Day--February 2, 2015

February 2nd is always one of my favorite days of the year.  Not only is it Groundhog's Day,   but it means winter is half over.    Well, today is a miserable snow/rain day for us around Philadelphia, although I can't complain, because it is even worse further north, and they already got a ton of snow out of the storm which fizzled around here.

Anyway, the Groundhog apparently saw his shadow this morning, which seems odd, because I thought we were all in this terrible snow storm, and to see his shadow, I think it means there has to be sun.  That means that there will be 6 more weeks of winter.

It took me a long time to realize that saying there is 6 more weeks of winter is really the same as saying it is 6 more weeks until Spring, but the great thing about today, is that there is a light at the end of the tunnel....the days are beginning to get closer to March 21st, and we will maybe feel a touch of warm weather soon!
