Today is Groundhog Day. I checked the official website of Punxsutawney Phil who, as everyone knows, is the official reference regarding the end of winter. He comes up from his little hole in the ground and looks to see if he has a shadow. If he does (because it's sunny), winter is six weeks away. If he doesn't see his shadow (because it's cloudy), spring is just around the corner and he remains above ground. Here's the scoop as reported this morning:
"Phil's official forecast as read 2/2/08 at sunrise at Gobbler's Knob:
"As I look around me, a bright sky I see, and a shadow beside me. Six more weeks of winter it will be!"
Well, rats! If only the little bugger had been here in Washington state...

I just love reading your comments. It's part of what makes blogging so much fun, don't you think?
Unfortunately, because of a recent spat of spam, for awhile I'll be reviewing comments before publishing them.
Thanks for understanding.
