Happy Groundhog Day!

[Catherine]

You are right, Groundhog Day is a good movie and you are right about its subtleties. It has a very good message. I love the repetition of the Groundhog scene. Each one is different and that makes it interesting.

There are many groundhog prognosticators. Canada has a good number.

I see that Manitoba has a groundhog called Manitoba Merv. I don't know why he bothers. Manitoba would be happy if it only had 6 more weeks of winter.
Sadly it will be more than that no  matter what Manitoba Merv says.

We have Wiarton Willie, an albino Groundhog. He usually promises us an early spring. He doesn't always deliver, but he makes us feel good.
I am seeing 6 Ontario Groundhogs, but I have never heard of most of them.

I think the Groundhog idea is catching on and we are seeing new Groundhogs every year.

It is a bit of fun in the middle of winter, at a time when we need a bit of fun.

Our winter has not been that bad. We have had a few cold spells, but we have had some warm spells too.
It is more how short the days are that is wearing us down. From now on we will start to notice that the days are getting longer.
