What if we don't have any groundhogs?

I realize it is still a few hours until Punxsutawney looks for his shadow, but I have a feeling that spring is just around the corner. Why? Because it arrived three weeks ago in Pohnpei. I know, I know, technically we don't have seasons in the tropics, but we do have the rainy season, and the really rainy season. The last three weeks have been the "Where the heck is the rain?" season. AND, we have new piglets, puppies, kittens, and chicks wandering around the compound. I don't care if a shadow is seen or not seen tomorrow, spring is in the air.
