Happy Groundhog Day

I realized tonight that we don't pay as much attention to Groundhog Day as we probably should. Too often, Punxsutawney Phil is the red-headed-step-child stuck between MLK, Jr. Day and Presidents Day. I am grateful to Talena and Adam for sharing their holiday spirit with us this evening by dropping off the cupcakes pictured below. They truly reminded us of the reason for the season.



The second image is a picture of Punxsutawney Phil, himself. Contrary to appearances, he is, in fact, a groundhog, and not a badger as some would claim.

If you are interested, Phil ('Punx' to his friends) did see his shadow this morning, meaning we should expect another six weeks of winter; or a month and a half, whichever comes first.
