so today is ground hog’s day.  and if you have a child in kindergarten i’m sure you heard all about it.  i was reminded today that if the groundhog sees his shadow then we will have 6 more weeks of winter, but if he doesn’t see his shadow, then spring is here.  and of course today the groundhog saw his shadow, great-6 more weeks of winter.  but as i heard the story for like the third time on the way home from school, my mind started to wander….is the ground hog here local?  cuz it’s sunny most days here and of course he would see his shadow. if he’s not here, where does he live?  is it a place that gets a mix of weather this time of year?  and why if it’s sunny on feb. 2nd, does that mean that winter is going to be longer, cuz it feels like it should be the opposite, the sun is out, it’s getting warmer, it makes a shadow-spring is coming….is anybody with me on this one?  guess i could google it and read up on groundhog’s day, but it just seems logical, no?  anywho…. what is a post without a photo?  so i grabbed this one of my boy and his shadow.
