Groundhog Day

Dear Cousin Punxsutawney Phil,



imageOnce again, mid-winter is near, and it’s time to send you my annual greetings. Hope you and the family are alright and enjoying life at the edge of the meadow; any more offspring coming along? Here in Canada, winter has been quite miserable so far; much too cold in some areas and far too warm in others. Just can’t rely on Mother Nature anymore. What a change from the good old days. But, as you know, winter ain’t over until the blizzards are replaced by warm spring rains. Some climatologists in Germany say it’s getting colder because it’s getting warmer, or perhaps the other way around. I find it all a bit confusing but am sure it’s very scientific. In any event, whether warming or cooling, we are eagerly looking forward to a fine spring.

Luckily for us in this neck of the woods, we had a great summer and managed to put on a good layer of fat, before retiring for the winter season. In the last few weeks we have had rather wet weather and had to bail the lower parts of the den a couple of times; however, the damage was minimal. Speaking of bailing, the financial conniptions over in Europe are worrisome. I hear that even some of our distant relatives around the Alps are suffering from too high credit card debts. Them poor fellows - they ought to have saved some provisions when there was plenty. We are glad that our government had the foresight to introduce some tax-free caches a few years ago. So, we now have a good nest egg (figuratively speaking) for future needs. As you know, Groundhog Day is just half way through the winter. With the weather forecasters being wrong, most of the time, who really knows what’s coming next? So, better stay put for a few more weeks. From the True White North, best wishes to you, the missus and all the young folks. Enjoy the rest of the winter. Your Cousin Wiarton Willie p.s.: How do you like the nice statue (photo enclosed) in my honor at Wiarton, Ontario? I hope you don’t feel envy; perhaps, the Punxsutawnians will build one for you as well.
