groundhog day.

The future is foretold (certain creatures have the ability to do such a thing, a groundhog being one of them)...another 6 weeks of winter.

Ever since my future brother-in-law's slip that Groundhog Day was the big, romantic holiday in February [while playing Taboo], a celebration of the occasion has begun to creep more and more into the yearly calendar.

For instance, this year I decorated a lovely piece of cake that I picked up from the grocery store.

And, I purchased Woodchuck's (woodchuck is another name for groundhog) Pear Cider to incite a toast.

I know you're jealous...but, just think, there's 364 days until the next groundhog celebration so you have lots of time to prepare a most festive of parties.
