Happy Groundhog Day 2019~!! I went out on a limb and said that Punxsutawney Phil was going to see his shadow!He did not see it!!! Stay tuned to see about that early spring!! It is only the 19th out of 123 times that he has not seen his shadow. Wow!!! And there were ten years that no records could be found.
He did not see it!!!

I held an atlas in my lap
Ran my fingers across the whole world
And whispered,
"Where does it hurt?"
It answered,
"Everywhere"
"Everywhere"
Love the Lewis Carroll quote! I’ve seen it before! Happy Groundhog Day!

Amazing how many folks turn out to see Phil. Then again, if I lived there, I'd be front row if possible. Though he looks like he'd rather be in his burrow eating groundhog kibbles, than messing about in the cold. Can't say as I blame him. And thanks to Phil, I am now going out and get some more swimwear. Though it's going to have to warm up a LOT more for those shenanigans. What a classic, fun tradition. Though I've never fully understood if he SEES his shadow, it's sunny, so it will get warmer soon. At least in my world of weather.
Lewis Carol knew his stuff, and so do you when it comes to flower photog's. They're always so colorful and happy and such in your posts. Well, I'm off to a walk in OUR cold, which is not half as bad as yours. But I'm still going to whine a bit. Cheers and stay warm and hope Phil is right. TTFN.

I know!! That ole Lewis really knows his stuff, doesn't he??? And you can't even compare colds to one another! That would be blasphemous! You and your short-sleeved winter gear!
I am always amazed how many gather to see if the ole rodent will produce the right answer every year. He is hardly ever right, but, hey!! He 's nothing but a glorified rat, right? ;) I say that if you put a bathing suit on today, we want a selfie or it didn't happen.
Nobody understands how he sees his shadow, it is one of those blind faith things I think. Hope all is well in your part of the world. I'm a cruising now, my friend! :)

I did not understand how Punxsutawney Phil sees or does not see the shadow.
Now does it mean that it will be an early spring?

Did you watch the video? It is merely folklore, however... Happy Groundhog Day!
As the legend goes, if Phil sees his shadow, he considers it an "omen" of six more weeks of bad weather and heads back into his hole.
Yes! Early spring is in the cards, however, Phil is frequently wrong!!!

Oh! It is merely folklore to predict if spring will be early or late!
Groundhog Day (Pennsylvania German: Grund'sau dåk, Grundsaudaag, Grundsow Dawg, Murmeltiertag; Nova Scotia: Daks Day[1]) is a popular tradition celebrated in Canada and the United States on February 2. It derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog (Marmota monax, also called "woodchuck"; Deitsch: Grundsau, Grunddax, Dax) emerging from its burrow on this day sees a shadow due to clear weather, it will retreat to its den and winter will persist for six more weeks, and if it does not see its shadow because of cloudiness, spring will arrive early. While the tradition remains popular in modern times, studies have found no consistent correlation between a groundhog seeing its shadow or not and the subsequent arrival time of spring-like weather.
The weather lore was brought from German-speaking areas where the badger (German: Dachs) is the forecasting animal. This appears to be an enhanced version of the lore that clear weather on the Christian Holy Day of Candlemas forebodes a prolonged winter.
The Groundhog Day ceremony held at Punxsutawney in western Pennsylvania, centering around a semi-mythical groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil, has become the most attended. Grundsow Lodges in Pennsylvania Dutch Country in the southeastern part of the state celebrate them as well. Other cities in the United States and Canada have also adopted the event.
The 1993 film Groundhog Day helped boost recognition of the custom, and the celebration has spread even further afield. In 2009, Quebec began to mark the day (Canadian French: Jour de la Marmotte) with its own groundhog. source
Happy Groundhog Day, Sally!!!
