I read in the paper over the weekend that Punxsatawney Phil has been criminally indicted based on his erroneous early spring prediction on Ground Hog Day. Still more shocking was the fact that they were seeking the death penalty! However, it is believed that Phil is less than 18 years of age, and therefore considered a juvenile. His attorneys have filed a "cease and desist" notice and rumor has it that all charges are to be dropped against Phil.
Seriously though...what is up with the weather? My trees are budding, daffodils are blooming, and the birds are busy building nests. All signs of spring, right? Then what's up with the snow flurries and bone chilling wind temps we've had for the past two days? I live in the South! I demand an explanation!! My daughter's American Heritage Girls troop has a mother/daughter campout scheduled the first weekend of April. Please, please, please let it be warmer! Who's with me?
