Dear Puxatony Phil...

You're officially on my bad list. 

Love always,

What does a stupid groundhog know anyway?? I'd go back into my hole too if someone woke me up and pulled me outside in front of thousands of people.

In my mind, Chicago doesn't hit spring until May (if we're lucky).  So he's wrong regardless. 

I will say this: he's adorable.  He looks so cuddlable!

What did he say? I missed it.

Six more weeks of winter.

I can't hate a face like that! He is sooo cute.

And I also can't say I'm surprised with the winter we've had. Annoyed yes, surprised, no. Lol!

Bah, same thing goes for Maine.  I'm really looking forward to a morning when I don't have to budget 10 minutes of my getting ready time to scrape the ice off my car.

Well that's no fun - I wanna get outside and take some pictures.

This is a given in MN too.  We get one last whallop of snow in mid March and then we're ususally Ok again.  ugh, I get a gardening blog from the University here and they're all about starting seeds and stuff.  Don't tease me.

Completely not surprising. I just wish it would pick a season down here in DC! Last Monday it hit 63 or something, I had to pull my flip flops out to walk the dog since my boots were too hot. Now, back into the 30s. Seriously? You are wreaking havoc on my immune system, Mother Nature!

omg what a cute groundhog! i think ill get one as my next pet.

 Last week I was showing my kindergarten class the letter g, and I was trying to get them to make words that start with G. I was like ok this animal comes out of a hole and if he sees his shadow..bla bla bla.. they still couldnt get it. So I said ok ill give u the first part of the word, "he's a GROUND ______" and they scream out "GROUND POSSUM!!" it was sooo hilarious I was crackin up. I guess they didnt learn about the groundhog until today.

Yeah, I've never understood the groundhog thing.  It's Feb. 2nd - there's at least 6 more weeks of winter regardless.  Since when does winter end the first week of Feb. ever?!

Plus, isn't there a statistic that says the groundhog is more wrong than right?  So, maybe the shadow is a good thing!  The only good thing that came out of Groundhog Day is the movie with Bill Murray.
