I HAD intended on actually attending a Groundhog Day to-do this morning, but as fate would have it, an upset tummy the night before kept me up way too late and thus I didn’t feel like getting up early and making a 45 minute drive. Such is the way of the world…

All of that said, I hear that two different groundhogs predicted an early spring today! One such woodchuck was Woody the Woodchuck, who lives at the Howell Nature Center in Michigan. Read about her prediction here: here

Punxsutawney Phil, whom is “the” groundhog – the Big Kahuna, the “important” groundhog – also predicted an early spring. Read about that here.

This is a photo of a groundhog I took at Greenfield Village, Dearborn, MI in 2009.
