No Shadow for Phil or Willie

Despite the snow squalls, biting cold and blizzards this week, both Phil and Willie expect an early spring. I on the other hand disagree, but what do I know!

Greetings from Punxsutawney!
Phil Says Spring is Right Around the Corner!
Phil's official forecast as read 2/2/07 at 7:28 a.m. at Gobbler's Knob:

El Nino has caused high winds, heavy snow,

ice and freezing temperatures in the west.

Here in the East with much mild winter weather we have been blessed.
Global warming has caused a great debate.

This mild winter makes it seem just great.
On this Groundhog Day we think of one thing.

Will we have winter or will we have spring?
On Gobbler's Knob I see no shadow today.

I predict that early spring is on the way.

And from Willie......

There was no shadow on the ground

Which means that spring will come around.

Flowers will bloom and life will begin

The waters will warm then we can jump in.

Children will laugh as they learn to ride

Boaters will rise and fall with the tide

The golfers appear out on the greens

People line up to taste new ice creams.

A warm breeze will brush on your cheek

The waters will rise on some of the creeks

Farmers will plant their first set of crops

Windows and doors will open on shops

The Town of South Bruce Peninsula is worth driving to

If your looking for springtime activities to do.

Ride a horse, catch a fish, hike the trails, if you can.

So many things to do you might need a plan.

If you don’t have time to enjoy everything.

Feel free to visit again in the spring.

There’s plenty to do throughout the whole year.

Especially now that spring time is near!
