Groundhog Day 2010. Madison, Georgia.
A picture paints a thousand words.
Groundhog Day 2010 ~

Lovely.
This was this morning heading home after depositing my fighting children at school.

A more artistic interpretation.
Here’s what it looks like out my window this very moment.
Through the screen that has no use because I can’t pry the window open after a hundred years worth of layering paint glommed on there.

Hmm.
Wow. I never noticed that screen before. Great. Now that is all I am going to see when I space out while trying think of SOMETHING to put on paper. A screen.
And I was worried about seeing nothing but gray and rain.
Now I’ve got gray, rain and this hideous screen that I never even noticed till I took that silly picture. I’ve got to talk to my groundhog about this. Who didn’t see his shadow. How on earth could he through 12 billion stories of cumulus, nimbus, stratus pressing down on us all?
Thank God.
Not about all the air pressure, but that the groundhog did not see his shadow and winter will be out of here by tomorrow.
At least that’s what I’m expecting. Any more groundhog reports out there?






love this, jamie. the writing, the use of the word ‘glommed’ and the visual storytelling.
thanks for brightening my day.
Oh Angelina, lots of stuff is glommed around here. j
Perfect….I could help yo pry that window open….
Hey. I went out and checked and it’s so odd. The screen is between the storm window and the pane. Only on the bottom pane. I think this requires more skill than my tool belt has available. If up to the challenge swing by…
The discussion of the screen reminds me of ‘My Cousin Vinne’
Apparently groundhogs are only right 39% of the time, which is good for us because our groundhog saw his shadow!
Boo on all those groundhogs who saw their shadow…I hope your guy was wrong..
