Happy Groundhog Day! If there are any ground hogs up here, which we doubt, none of them would have seen their shadows this morning - we were getting a very pretty, very light, blanket of new snow. We've not seen a groundhog around - ground squirrels, yes, in several varieties including Franklin's Ground Squirrel, which rather resembles a very ugly squashed ground hog. They didn't see their shadows this morning either!
However - we did - both of us - see a robin! Here's hoping the combination - no shadows (and nice clean snow) plus one very stupid, thoroughly chilled robin means an early spring and great canoeing and cabining weather! In the meantime, Lin has just volunteered for the National Weather Service as a snow spotter so she got to call in her first snowfall report - and see the first sign of spring - on the same day.
