Groundhog Predicts Early Spring

Today is the second day Indiana has endured a horrific snowstorm. We've been in the house for two days and the birthday boy was going stir crazy. So this morning, we got out and shoveled out the driveway. Now here's the rub; we had to first take a scraper to break up the crust before we could shovel it! And then, each shovelful weighed a ton! What a back- breaker. Anyway, about an hour into our labor, Farmer Bob showed up and dug us out. He saved us about 14 hours of work!

So we are having a great Groundhog Day, celebrating Deke's birthday and being together. Tomorrow will return us to a normal day and we'll start the grind again. But in the meantime, we're having fun being socked in.

The hope of spring! That's a robin watching us shoveling!
Does he know something we don't?

You know...in Punksatawnee, the groundhog didn't see his shadow today.
