Happy Groundhog Day
I wonder if Stephen Scott saw his shadow when he got up this AM.
In Nova Scotia, Lucy the Lobster crawled out of the ocean at Cape Sable Island Causeway at 8 a.m. local time, and saw her shadow, organizers said. She immediately started crawling towards Florida.
Quebec’s Fred la Marmotte died before he was able to reveal his prediction Thursday, with volunteer children stepping in to take its place. (Poor Fred, that diet of Pepsi and Poutine must have done him no good).
Ontario’s Wiarton Willie called for an early spring Thursday morning, not having seen his shadow,
On Thursday morning at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania groundhog Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter. He's probably a Republican, had no real plans anyway?
Favourite line from the so fun movie: “You play very well for a beginner.”
And a little groundhog education while we wait for blockbuster drill results from OT ...
"Turns out humans aren’t the only ones who consider February the month of romance and love. Male groundhogs hibernate for about three months, while the females stay asleep for a few weeks longer. The males wake up around early February to prepare for mating season. They scope out and make “house-calls” to female burrows near theirs. Once they know where their potential mates are, the male groundhogs return to their burrows to sleep for another month until early March."
I don't know about the other parents out there but I immediately thought of my sons in their teenage years when I read that!
