There was a ground hog a little ways up the street. He was absolutely cute and bossy! Always indicating where I should go and that where he was staying was his territory, and that I should abide by his rules, not mine. He would just walk out and start directing traffic. I just loved it.

Groundhog's Day is such fun. 20,000 people in PA thought so too. There has been some research on Phil's predictions which were in the positive. You can Google it yourself.
Some people have no sense of humor!!! This day has always been a fun day, whether he is right or wrong!!!! Phil is so cute!!!
