Punxsutawney Phil Had Better Watch His Back!

Two days ago it was nearly seventy degrees outside.  The wind was blowing, sun shining intermittently, birds were singing, children laughing and a warm feeling of hope cradled us all…  OK  So maybe it wasn’t all that great, but I did open up the windows and the kids played outside all afternoon, in short sleeves.

This morning it was twenty five degrees and I woke up to this:

That’s a solid ice covered tree with an extra coating of snow for good measure.

Not so much as I woke up to that huge pile of ice covered limbs as I went to bed with it last night.  I had to clear enough of them from the driveway so that my wife could get to work this morning.

I’m gonna kill that Groundhog if I ever catch up to him!

P.S.  Some of you may recall I’ve recently had some problems with that same tree.  I was going to have it chopped down.  Mother Nature is pruning it for me.
