My favorite holiday šŸ˜Š. Means we made it through half (six weeks) of Winter. Only six weeks till Spring. Better news, pitchers and catchers report in two weeks (well, maybe).
Groundhog Day is a blast in Punxsy/Indiana. Kind of like spring break - but everyone layered into Carhartt Jackets and Parkas :)

But what is the difference between "Spring is Coming", and "Six More Weeks of Winter"? Aren't the two basically the same?

It cracks me up when people get into a lather claiming there's no way a groundhog can predict the weather. Well, duh!! It's harmless fun in the middle of winter. Overly serious people make me laugh.

As a hunter who probably has shot 1000 Phil's in my life...anywhere from 5 to 300 yards..anything he says or does is bullsh*t!

We watched Punxsutawney Phil this morning. We had our fingers crossed but the punxster let us down with 6 more weeks of winter.

Hey now- donā€™t pick on the little groundhog! Heā€™s generally more accurate than the real weather people. ;)

Has anyone gone to the all night shindig in Punxsutawney waiting for the groundhog in the morning? Is it worth a visit at least once?

Rodents have excellent night vision?
But sometimes they forget to look both ways during the day šŸ„²
We were saddened to see one of our local residents dead in the street shortly after we enjoyed watching it browsing in the back yard
