Happy Groundhog's Day! Forget about that doom and gloom Phil guy up in Pennsylvania! Our groundhog is celebrating Spring! Despite the freezing drizzle as reported by one Gentle Reader, we are going to gear up for a beauteous and bountiful spring. My Publix daffodils are in full bloom on the kitchen windowsill - a finer harbinger I do not know.
Famous birthdays today: Ernest Shackleton, James Joyce, Liz Smith, Stan Getz, Pebbles Flintstone and our own Miss Crabby Abby, who is now two.
And you have to see this! The Google Art Project. Just amazing!
