Groundhog Day

Well today is my mother's birthday and it is also groundhog day. When Punxsutawney Phil (yeah I had to look up the spelling) will be held aloft by the mayor or some such office and we'll see if he sees his shadow or not. If he sees his shadow there will be six more weeks of winter if not we get an early spring.

I don't know about you but this entire winter has been pretty much an early spring. Very mild and little in the way of snow or ice. I guess it's making up for last year's very harsh winter. We had it all last year and lots of it!

Regardless of Phil's prognostication this year it's too late for a long cold winter. We might yet see some rain or perhaps even snow but it's too warm to stick around long and it's too late in the winter for spring not to be around the corner.
