Ground Hog's Day!!!

So Danny didn't really know much about Groundhog's Day before he married me so... I thought I would give you all my 4th grade Ground Hog's Day lesson.

In Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania there is a little place called Gobbler's Knob where Punxsutawney Phil lives. We'll his burrow is there he normally lives in the City library I think. Anyways, on the 2nd of February thousands of people gather around and watch for him to come out of his burrow. After Phil emerges from his burrow, he speaks to the Groundhog Club president in "Groundhogese"(a language only understood by the current president of the Inner Circle). His proclamation is then translated for the world. If he sees his shadow then it's 6 more weeks of winter. If he doesn't it means an early spring. It's legit you can go see it if you want to stand out in the cold all night. Anyways, here's his 125 prognostication 

Phil's official forecast as read February 2nd, 2011, at sunrise at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, PA:

Here Ye, Hear Ye, Hear Ye

Groundhog Day, February 2, 2011
Punxsutawney Phil was raised from his burrow
By the call of President Bill Deeley.
He greeted his handlers, Ben Hughes and John Griffiths.

After casting an inquisitive eye towards thousands of his faithful followers,
He proclaimed that the Steelers are going to the Super Bowl!

Back to the business at hand...
He surveyed his surroundings carefully and found that there was no shadow around,
So, an early spring it will be.

Anyways, at our house this year we had dinner on the ground (for groundhog's day) and had chocolate groundhogs for dessert. I must say Danny was way more excited about dessert than dinner but he was a good sport. Well so anyways happy Groundhog's Day!
