Funny! I do have a ham in the fridge and could grind it, but I doubt I will do
that. Has the groundhog seen his shadow? It's still dark here and raining so he sure
wouldn't see it here.

Just read that the groundhog saw his shadow in Puxa-wherever..so that means six more weeks of winter back east.

There is no way he would see his shadow here with all the clouds and rain. In fact, I noticed that our red leaf maple has tiny leaves sprouting already! The fragrant shrubs next to the house have already bloomed and they normally don't until February.

Maybe spring will be early in Oregon this year!

It used to be on TNT all the time, I haven't seen it in a while though. I'm sure someone is playing it today though.

French Creek Freddy Forecast

French Creek Freddie saw his shadow on Groundhog Day, indicating that winter will last another six weeks.
West Virginia's furry forecaster on Saturday matched the prediction made a few hours earlier by his more famous Pennsylvania cousin, Punxsutawney Phil.
About 200 people came to the West Virginia Wildlife Center in Upshur County for the tradition that has been practiced there since 1978.
The event was last held on a Saturday in 2002. Wildlife center biologist Rob Silvester says the normal turnout when Feb. 2 falls on a weekday is about 50.
Freddie last saw his shadow on Groundhog Day in 2005.
