that groundhog was looking as if to say "what a load of idiots, just keep feeding me ok"

he'd make a good "have you got a caption" for the Post

Yeah, he would. Unfortunately, I couldn't go over today to take his picture, because I had to work - and you have to get there at 3 am to get a place on Gobbler's Knob, and it was 23F out there this morning.

I'll go over one day, though, and visit him where he lives - in the Punxsutawney Public Library.

is he the only one ? no other town etc does their own ?

Oh, yeah, everybody's a copycat these days - Staten Island, New York has one - Rev Nick says there are two in Canada - North Carolina has one, I don't know who all else.

But Phil's the original. He's the only one that counts.

typical! jump in on a money bandwagon

Yeah. This one's just an old local tradition that goes back 130 years.

Hardly anybody knew about it outside the area until they made that movie.

it's called easy moneycapitalise on it

many years ago, we (as in the lodge bro's) did a car boot sale in our local park (council permission) after a second time, other lodges copiedand then so did general public a bit. Council saw "profit" and said we want a cut of the charges for cars/vansTHEN a payment for 2 council men to clean up after THEN a payment for porta-loos

we didn't do a 3rd

I don't blame you. What spoilsports.

I'm off, supper's here.

Stay warm, and sleep well!

enjoy

and warmth will do

I got too hot in bed, threw off the covers.

I wish

It's been warm and rainy here. And the Zen put in an appearance .

Must be time to make more bunnies...

is your fencing all ok ? ready for the deer nipping at plants/buds etc

No fencing, just a wall between us and the car park.

But the spray stuff keeps the deer away from the plants and trees.
