GROUND HOG SMILES

 
 
 
 The weather is great

 A beautiful sunset

 From my window I could see
 
 The golden dune grass

 Waving in the soft breeze

 This was while the weather reporters

 Were predicting a huge snow storm

 Seven to ten inches; I proclaimed:

 There shall be no snow before its time

 Schools were cancelled for two days

 The next day; no snow; it was not time

 That evening I could not see the sun and

 It started to spit snow after dark

 The next morning; I had to say:  It is time

 Six to twelve inches of lovely white snow

 I started my snow blower

 Worked for two hours clearing the drive

 Also my parking area and some of the road

 County workers had not yet arrived

 There was no traffic except for one truck

 It is February; the groundhog saw its shadow
