But our weather has been pretty nice so far, until this week, when I'm wishing for warmer because of a conference! I love hearing all about Groundhog Day-used to love talking about it with my first graders, middle schoolers not so much. Keep warm Donna!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604430404780110710.post-89524721148979402012014-02-04T18:45:22.222-05:002014-02-04T18:45:22.222-05:00Hi, Wendy!

It is fun to read old posts, and I've been trying to get around to blogs I read now and look for posts that haven't had comments. It is interesting to go back to read old posts.Donna Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738281869266957726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604430404780110710.post-18617536377993670862014-02-04T18:41:12.193-05:002014-02-04T18:41:12.193-05:00We had a January thaw, and then a few cold days of...We had a January thaw, and then a few cold days off and on since then. Mostly it's been tolerable here. On the coast we get warmer air that hangs out sometimes creating slushy snow, while inland can get more snow and frigid temps. The ground here is getting prime for mud season.Donna Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738281869266957726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604430404780110710.post-41126048958340654812014-02-04T18:37:19.087-05:002014-02-04T18:37:19.087-05:00Over the past two weeks I've heard Canada Gees...Over the past two weeks I've heard Canada Geese at night just below our house in the flats. And though we have chickadees all year, they've begun their calls this week.

I don’t think anybody would miss it then. Smiles. By the way, I enjoyed reading your early posts. I, occasionally, repost an old poem from one of my retired blogs. They are, overall, quite a bit lighter than what I am posting now and it is fun to see them actually being read – at long last.Wendy Bourkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475940407969993348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604430404780110710.post-21327659517651286572014-02-04T17:44:19.005-05:002014-02-04T17:44:19.005-05:00I do think that animals are a good predicator of t...I do think that animals are a good predicator of the weather. I know Phil said 6 more weeks but even with absolutely miserable weather the past few weeks, the birds are singing and when the snow melts into puddles taking baths.

Spring has to be close. But if they just want to turn around and head to back to bed...they must know something.

Pux Phil is like a state treasure. Heck, the state lottery had a groundhog named Gus, " the second most popular groundhog in PA" doing lottery commercials for a few years. I don't quite understand it.
