      Here in the US and Canada we have this legend that if on Feb 2, the groundhog sees his shadow it means six more months of winter. This was my inspiration this morning. Also we had this discussion a couple of years ago about marmots and groundhogs if you remember @braydin-hawlette @demotlj @burvantill and others. I thought of that today as I drew this.

        groundhogday.jpg My morning sketch for the day. There are times when I wonder what the groundhogs think of this holiday.

          @chrisaakins Love it! I'm so impressed with people that can pull off a great illustration on the day of an event. 👍

            @burvantill I get in a fever mode and gotta finish! This one I saw firm in my mind from start to finish.

                  @chrisaakins my mind is more a loose sieve than a fine net. Many apologies 😂

                    @chrisaakins Did it happen yet? Does anyone know whether the groundhogs think winter is over or not? Of course, it doesn’t matter for me , I’m in Alaska, so it’ll be snowing through April. But, I like to get my hopes up anyway. 😆

                      @pamela-fraley apparently the southern groundhogs are disagreeing with Punxsutawney Phil. He saw his shadow and thus winter will stick around. They were less gloomy.

                        @chrisaakins Maybe they should meet ahead of time so there is some consensus. Get it together groundhogs!

                          @pamela-fraley sounds like a great children’s book. A gathering of groundhogs!
