Punxsutawney Phil is a groundhog, but not just any groundhog. Punxsutawney Phil is the groundhog we celebrate on Groundhog Day every year. Phil comes out of hibernation and if he sees his shadow, that means six more weeks of winter. If he doesn't see his shadow, that means spring has arrived.

    Thanks, Momie! Chose this for my blog at http://lessonplans4free.blogspot.com/

    Wonderful article for the kids and family to enjoy, love the way you added those funky links into your article. By the way, have you noticed that some of our articles have errors due to no fault to our own. If you observe you will see that in your second sentence two words are joined into one word, I thought it was my imagination at first, but I have seen many articles with this same error. I will get in contact with AC on this issue, take care - keep up the good work.
