Groundhog’s Day 2009; the Verdict is in.

Groundhog’s Day 2009; the Verdict is in.

 

 

February 2. Groundhog’s Day

 

When the groundhog sees his shadow, the silly little thing is scared and runs back underground. Which for us, means six more weeks of winter.

 

Things looked pretty cloudy this morning. YEA!

The one day of the year I pray for cloudy weather…

 

Madison, doesn’t have a town groundhog, so I struck an agreement with the little chipmunk, Leticia, who lives out outside my window.
She was going to let me know if she saw her shadow this morning.

 Well, Leticia stayed up a little too late last night watching the end of the Super Bowl (which did get very exciting), but she was as good as her word and her word was….

 

 No shadow! Warm weather not too far away! God bless her little teensy rodent heart!

 

 Yes, it was rather cloudy this morning, hard to see any shadows.

 But honestly, with the way things are in the world today, there are a lot of shadows lurking out there. The shadow of reported layoffs, slow housing markets, pay cuts. Lots of gloom and doom speculation. 

 

Today – when something appears on the horizon, something that makes you want to run down and your burrow and hide, ask yourself. Is this just a shadow?

 

  If you choose to retreat back into your burrow, do so because you just need a little more sleep, not because you fear something that might never happen.

 

Today — step out of the shadows and into the light. Now I must run and go bring a tiny cup of coffee to Leticia my dear chipmunk friend. For here in Madison the sun has just come out – and we’ve got to start planning our spring garden.
