GROUNDHOG 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 snowstorm

Seven to ten inches; I proclaimed:

There shall be no snow before its time

Schools were canceled 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 snowblower

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
