The verdict is in: Phil feels like wearing his winter duds a little while longer. "Six more weeks," declared the shadow-seeing animal."According to German superstition, if a hibernating animal casts a shadow on Feb. 2 -- the Christian holiday of Candlemas -- winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow is seen, legend says, spring will come early. Since 1887, Phil has seen his shadow 97 times, hasn't seen it 15 times, and there are no records for nine years, according to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club." (FoxNews.com)It's call a SUNNY DAY, people ... shadows are bound to happen.
I don't mind. I'm rather liking this winter, despite my hesitancy entering into it.
What about you, my shivering readers? Thrilled with Phil's report, or dying for some spring? Weigh in ... although it's not like you can do anything about it anyway, except bundle up and invest in more hot cocoa.

We are still awaiting our local celebrity, Balzac Billy, to make his declaration. Regardless of what his prediction is, we are in Canada beside the Rocky Mountains. Winter/snow is a possibility in every month of the year. lol
Thanks so much for your comments on my blog. Since we found out in November that Matthew's foot was relapsing and would need more surgery within the year, I have been really upset and determined to find another path. It never ceases to amaze me at who and what you find when you really need to. I really appreciate your comments and comradery. Makes this journey we are on seem that much easier.
