Ground Hog Day!

The mysterious groundhog Punxsutawney Phil has emerged to see his shadow in Pennsylvania once again. My guess is that he has not embarked on a journey to the most dubious Columbia Basin and immersed him/herself in the balmy 49 degree weather in January and February thanks to El Nino; predictions are in the 50 degree range for at minimum 30 days according to NOAA. My daffodils are coming up before the crocuses, and my iris’s are popping up. This is just wrong on many levels. My garden is perfectly timed to bloom all season long with the precise colors…at the precise time…I believe this is due to technology advancing from Y2K…We forgot to set our computers to roll over to double 00? The flipping sky is falling? The pencil? What the? Well, my spring garden is out of whack and El Nino is taking the rap…Poor kid! For the fear mongers, the turn of the century possibly has thrown us off the 23.5 axis and we are all going south…lol:)
