Here Ye, Hear Ye, Hear Ye
Groundhog Day, February 2, 2011
Punxsutawney Phil was raised from his burrow
By the call of President Bill Deeley.
He greeted his handlers, Ben Hughes and John Griffiths.
After casting an inquisitive eye towards thousands of his faithful followers,
He proclaimed that the Steelers are going to the Super Bowl!
Back to the business at hand…
He surveyed his surroundings carefully and found that there was no shadow around,
So, an early spring it will be.
Today is pretty much my favorite holiday. I don’t really care about Valentine’s Day, but today I love. I just like small town things. I’m from PA (even though I’ve never been to Punxsutawney) and from a town that drops a giant stuffed pickle with a face for New Year’s Eve, so I’m sure that helps.
Here are a couple of cute things to celebrate today:
- Wild Olive has a cute little groundhog case for an ipod or some similar sized item.
- Make groundhog graham crackers.
Did you know there is an official Punxsutawney Groundhog club? You can even see if there is a chapter in your area.
Happy Groundhog Day!
