Today I received my first Groundhog's Day Card
I have always been a little annoyed that we let some arrogant, egocentric, eastern marmot on the other side of the continent prognosticate the length of our seasons. My jubilation was augmented today when I learned that the Pacific Northwest has it's own groundhog, Billy Balzac, who resides just 8 km north of Calgary. Today, Balzac saw his shadow.
Come on Puxaphony Phil, we all know there is going to be at LEAST 6 more weeks of winter. You can't soothe us westerners with your "empathetic" lies.

oh my goodness, i am laughing. i love the "build-a-bear" slippers. I think every state should have their own man dressed up in a groundhog suit. Way to go Canada for ignoring good old Phil.
ps - loving your jubilations.
You are so right. I never could really put my finger on why groundhog day bugged me a bit. Cute note from Ansel, Paige could use some handwriting lessons from him! Hope all is well with you guys!
