I agree with you Joly on that warmth thing as Hot Springs is not so hot today. Actually we’re in the middle of an ice storm which doesn’t seem as bad as I thought it might be, but might get worse later on as the sleet tends to freeze overnight making roads more treacherous the following day than when it originally fell. Sorry for anyone that has to be out in it, but happy that I don’t have to be. I will be cozily in my little house enjoying a copy of John Grisham’s latest novel.

On the other hand, being a lifelong baseball fan, I use as a sure sign of spring the fact that Pitchers and Catchers Report on Feb 13 and position players report on Feb 16. With spring training beginning, can spring be far behind?

JB, I'm right there with ya on having this ground hog shadow thingy backwords but hey, "when you'fre up you're up and when you're down you're down but when you're only half way up your neither up nor down."
The above is credited to an old English Nursery rhyme ans song. Not many things ake this much sense anymore . . . and I must say one of my 7th grade educated father's favorite sayings to me when i was young . . . Another was "ya don't want to be dumb unless ya show it". Each presented in light of the basis of Grounhog Day!

Wow, my Dad was down right educated compared to yours. Mine made it to the 8th grade then went to work in the oil fields at 14. I'm not sure that would even be legal today. I wonder whether that falls under laws that prohibit child labor. At any rate, it was good for my Dad as he was employed and even prosperous right through the Depression and when World War two came along, he didn't have to go to the military because the production of oil was an essential industry.
As for early signs of Spring, I think of it as vegetable and not animal. First signs of Spring in the South are some sort of blooming white trees. I've always wondered what they really are. It occured to me that they might be some sort of wild apple or plum, but internet says they are called Serviceberry trees which I have never heard before. Learn something new every day even when you're an old curmudgeon like me.
