Groundhog Day

February 2, 2013

Happy Groundhog Day

I woke up extra early today to watch the great Punxatawney Phil emerge from his stump and predict spring or winter.  I thought, “It’s 2013! This is the luckiest year of all time…of course there’s going to be spring!”  What a blessed moment when that fuzzy bucktoothed fellow woodchucked into the ears of the portly gentlemen and the following scroll read aloud:

Hear ye

Hear ye

Hear ye

On this February 2, 2013… Punxatawney Phil, King of the groundhogs, seer of seers, prognosticator of prognosticator, weather prophet without peer, was awakened from his burrow at 7:28 am with a tap of the President’s cane. Phil was lifted from his burrow by his handler and greeted by his tens of thousands of faithful followers. Phil was gently placed upon his oak stump and nodded a happy Groundhog Day to his fans around the world. Surrounded by his Inner Circle awaiting either six more weeks of winter or an early spring.  Phil, with his keen weather eye, gazed a quizzical search to the western Pennsylvania skies.  Phil and President Dealy conversed in groundhogese, and Phil directed him to the chosen prognostication scroll. The President tapped the chosen scroll, directed Phil’s prediction to be proclaimed. By noon of entrance is a sight to behold, like my faithful followers strong and bold. And so ye faithful, there is no shadow seen! An early spring for you and me.

Later, I ate my firt hotdog (groundhog….hotdog….kinda similar right?) from Jonnies Beef! Fantastic! And I watched Groundhog Day with Bill Murray. If I wake up tomorrow to Babe, I Got You Babe…I am in trouble

I’ve always wanted to celebrate Groundhog Day, but I always forget! Ah! Spring! See….I knew it was going to be a good year!
