Punxsutawney diner...

That little Punxsutawney Phil got a bribe this year. From who tho, I'm not sure yet...

So 6 more weeks of winter, is it? And what is the alternative if he doesn't see his all knowing shadow? Only a month and a half until Spring?

Hmmm... I'm beginning to smell a racket...
By the way... just how long do groundhogs live? Is this the same little Phil from 1986? I'm wondering if this is the same situation as the making of the movie Babe? The little baby pig kept growing too fast, so there were about 5 or 6 little pigs playing the part...

There were lots of barbecues during the Babe movie making.. hmmm.. yum!

Has anyone tried groundhog burgers?

I haven't noticed the ground hog that lives in the woods near our subdivision stirring at all. It's definitely a racket!
Congrats on your daughter's first dance. THis year is prom, but my daughter doesn't want to go with any of the three guys who have asked her. She wants to go with a group of friends.

I think they are too cute to eat, but we used to have one in our backyard that would have fed the whole block!

I tried a bite of barbecued raccoon once. It was too gamey for my taste.

I'm with you. It's February. Of course we're going to have at least six more weeks of winter. I think he hasn't seen his shadow like once or twice in over 100 years.

I just got done shoveling, is there any way to get winter over today?

I have not tried groundhog, that I'm aware of, although I did just hear an Iowa DNR guy on NPR saying there is a hunting season for them in Iowa...June 15 to November 1. He thinks most people probably make stew with them...the more ingredients the better!

I love this, but, sadly, all I could think of the whole time I was reading it was how very badly I want a cheeseburger right now. :-)

There is no way that this winter is *ever* going to end as long as this groundhog keeps seeing his shadow. I don't see any other way out. He's got to be stopped. And I have to stop him.

Hmmm...I bet they taste all groundy...maybe hoggish?
I LOVE that movie.

Bill Murray...cute. I've got a thing for him.
Groundhogs...not so much. People really eat them? Yikes. Sorry to here about the 6 more weeks of winter. Although I enjoy it at the onset, it's about this time of year I long for spring.
xxoo

I still think someone needs to drop-kick that groundhog. I'm sick of winter.
