Dear Phil...

Dear Phil,
Tomorrow's the big day... as big as it gets for a groundhog anyway. I hope you're resting up & preparing for all your fans.

I just wanted to have a little chat before tomorrow. About this whole shadow thing & 6 more weeks of winter. What if this year we were a little more optimistic? Just think about it, wouldn't an early spring be such a nice surprise for everyone? 

I understand the stress that Groundhog's Day puts on you & how easily that stress could transfer into fear when you see that shadow. So I'm suggesting you have a soothing cup of tea, snuggle up with a movie (that Bill Murray one has always been a favorite even if he DOES totally upstage you), & get an early bedtime. Then if tomorrow morning you happen to see a little shadow... which of course you will, there are so many cameras & lights everywhere to document your every move... you'll be in a peaceful state of mind & won't run away scared. Good luck tomorrow!

much love,


p.s. I'm not sure how far stretching your weather predictions reach... but if you have like a cousin groundhog in the south, could you mention that Alyssa & my brother would both like a little snow in TX.?

  1. YES! Some people here in TX got some today. I might have some on Friday if Phil is feeling kind!

    Hope YOU get some of our springy weather and we get more of the wintery stuff!
