Ground Hogs Day

The topic of conversation at our breakfast table this morning was all about Punxsutawney Phil.  After a quick geography lesson in where he lives, as well as a correction from Andrew when I said that we would have to see if he went back in his house or not, apparently groundhogs live in burrows not houses, we happily went off to school to learn if Punxsutawney Phil would see his shadow or not.

With all the talk of shadows this morning, the girls and I had a little fun after everyone went off to school.

So, Punxsutawney Phil did see his shadow when he emerged from his burrow this morning and proclaimed six more weeks of winter.  You would never believe it if you lived in Georgia today where the temperature is going to be 73 degrees this afternoon.

"Let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near."
