WINTER AMERICANA


Today, February 2nd, was a very special day that I think you should have known about.  It has been celebrated for over one hundred years-yet-I did not hear any mention of Groundhog Day today.  To be honest, I was a little disappointed.  Maybe everyone was busy with work, texting, keeping up with friends and activities.  Poor Phil.  He needs to wait one whole year to show his sweet, rustic face. His job? To tell us if winter will remain for the next six weeks or if spring will shine bright.  Watch the video and scroll through the web page.  Let's give Phil his much deserved recognition, shall we?   Please post your comments :)

P.S. Phil is so respected! He even has his own webpage and his holiday was streamed live at 6am!
