Happy Ground Hog's Day

I think Ground Hog's day is an under rated holiday.   This is really the beginning of Spring.  The days are noticeably longer.  The nights may still be cold but there is almost always melting during the day.  In Michigan I would question the meteorological credentials of any ground hog that did not predict six more weeks of winter, but that is still an end to winter.

A slow steady spring is best for maple syrup.  While we are waiting for the flowers visit Snow's Sugar Bush at the Market for Maple syrup and maple sugar.
