Early Spring?

That is what one groundhog had to say....

you know Punxutawney Phil! He was very 

sure that we will soon be out from under this

ice and snow.

I want to agree with him.

Boy, do I.

And I have a reason to hope.

Georgia saw a bluebird couple 

checking out the bluebird box.

Seems early for that...

so it could be a good sign.

But, what most people don't know

is that there is another groundhog that 

makes predictions.  

He is named Octoraro Orphie.

They bring him out down around Pequea...

not far from here.
(By the way, that is pronounced "peck-way"
not "Pee-quee" as I incorrectly guessed when
we first moved here....lol.)

In all of the fog and cloudy skies somehow

that pesky groundhog managed to see his 

shadow.  Now, I think it must be a miracle

that this rodent was able to see much of anything

yesterday....let alone his shadow.

I don't like his message.

I reject his message.

I'm going with that other groundhog.

Soon we'll be seeing trees of green...........

you know how that goes.

Red roses too.

Oh yeah!

What a wonderful World!
