Groundhog's Day

I am way behind again, hence why I am just now thankful for Groundhogs Day! Such a silly holiday to be thankful for, I know, but let me give you my reason.  While I love "winter gear" (boots, coats, and scarves), I really don't like being cold all that much.  So, I love the optimism that Groundhog;s Day can bring when he doesn't see his shadow and I can see Spring in the very near future!  As I told my students this year, the national groundhog did see his shadow, but our GA one didn't, so I am going to stick with him.  Here we come, Spring!
