The second month, the second day
of twenty twenty two,
oh my, all those twos...
The groundhog crawls out
of his den to forecast the weather.
It's too early to predict
what the day will bring,
he sings a little song,
"Shall I see my shadow,
I'll flee from the meadow,
tuck in my home for
another little nap!"
--Brenda Kay Ledford
According to Mr. Groundhog, we'll have an early spring because it's very cloudy here in western North Carolina. I sure hope spring will come soon!
Whatever the weather, I hope all my blogger friends will have a Happy Groundhog Day!
According to the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition, if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on Groundhog Day and sees its shadow due to clear weather, it will retreat to its den, and winter will go on for six more weeks; if it does not see its shadow because of cloudiness, spring will arrive early.

Our groundhog saw his shadow. Mind you, no sefl-respecting rodent would have come out of his den on a bitterly cold day like today.
I hope your groundhog is right!
Lovely poem.
