we celebrate a groundhog

who is the most famous groundhog?  why that is punxsutawney phil, of course.  just one more reason to love the state of pennsylvania.  though i do not always appreciate his prediction, i can join in on the excitement of making a fun, little holiday over a groundhog and his shadow.

so the verdict this year?!?!  six more weeks of winter...  {phil makes his prediction}

thank you, phil.  now normally i would be ready for spring (because that leads to summer), but things are slightly different this year.  lynchburg has not actually experienced winter yet, and i am in eager anticipation for a big snow storm.  why?  mostly because i want to be snowed in for a few days.  a couple paid days off work?  don't mind if i do.  i'll be honest though.  part of me also wants a big snow storm just so that i can show off my new snow boots, snow jacket, and snow pants that i bought at the end of the season and have yet to use.

so, thank you, phil, for giving me hope.  bring on the snow!

i may need to add a trip to punxsutawney, pa for february second in one of the next few years to come.  who's in?
