It has been far too long, but hopefully I will be posting more often now that I have (a bit) more time.  To get things rolling, I’ll start with Groundhog Day, something that has always confused me.  If the groundhog sees their shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter – but what does it mean if they don’t see their shadow? Eight more weeks of winter?  It certainly doesn’t mean less than six weeks, at least where I live. But in any case, yesterday there were no shadows, even though we had a large groundhog snowshoeing across the frozen lake.

The groundhog is on the far left, in case you are wondering.

Meanwhile, on my patio, the snow continues to build up.

I can assure you that six weeks from now, it will look pretty much the same. So I’m amusing myself with my new hobby – using my new espresso machine to make lattes.

And at the end of the day…

Life is good…
