NO SHADOW, NO DOUBT?

      NO SHADOW, NO DOUBT?

     We now know that Punxsutawney Phil

did not see his shadow. Spring is just about

here....or....is it just THERE!?

    Weather varies a lot from one place to

another. And Punxsutawney is 194 miles away

from Wyoming Valley!

     I thought we should know what the shadow

status is right around here. I was all set to check

it out and report my findings in today's Blog!

    But.....what happens when you can't find the

Groundhog?

    Those guys in Punxsutawney know exactly

where to find Phil!

     But I haven't seen my Ground Hog........well,

my neighbor's Groundhog, since last April. He

showed up on a fairly regular basis back then.

But I'm not sure what it means when he sees his

shadow at that time of the year.

      I figured I'd have to find a substitute. But, all

of a sudden, I realize I haven't even seen any of

the "million" stray cats I've seen around here in

the past. OK, maybe there wasn't a million. It

probably just seemed like a million.

      Even that skunk that looked as big as a hog

when he wandred through our yard a month or two

ago seems to have disappeared. If only his scent

had gone so quickly!

      I turned to the fish tank! I watched carefully as

its two inhabitants cruised back and forth. There

was no sign of a shadow there! Spring is here!

At least in the fish tank.

     Of course, come to think of it, the temperature

is always "Spring like" in the fish tank. There's

no Winter in there to extend for six weeks!

     We could rely on the television weather

people if we could get them off the roof or have

them stick to weather rather than whams!

      Or, maybe, we could just look out the

window or step outside! Now there's an idea! 

    I also hope Spring is near for you and that

all your NEWS is good!
