"Tis it true Phil??

I must say that I completely forgot that it was groundhogs day until I arrived at work this morning. As I walked through the halls, a giant groundhog was staring at me. The creature was here to greet the children. Then when I went into the classroom it was all the kids were talking about.
In case you don't know, Groundhogs Day is a PA holiday where we rip the furry creature from his nice comfy, hibernating bed and ask him to tell us if we should plan on packing up the sweaters early or bury ourselves in our houses for 6 more weeks.
I may have missed the actual tv presentation but no fear, a teacher's aid recorded it for us. So after 10 or so very long and drawn out minutes, Phil did not see his shadow. Did not scurry back into his hole. And so it goes we are suppose to have an early spring. Oh, one could dream. We all know how I feel about snow. And today pushed me to the limit. Early spring he says while I dig and dig my van out of teh snow drift that was created in an hour. My husband says he believes it though. He says the snow is going to be on its way out. Such the eternal optimist I married.
All I know it thank God it is February. January is over. Hooray! And February is a short month, and off to March where we will hopefully start to warm up a little! Not sure if I believe but I hope you are right Phil!!
