It’s that time of year to rest our hopes of an early spring on a furry animal. Kind of silly really because when have we ever had less than 6 more weeks of winter. But in such drastic conditions as this winter we need a little ray of hope. So with that said I am sending all sorts of positive thoughts to Manitoba Merv at Oak Hammock Marsh.  His friends at the Marsh posted this picture of him getting all ready for his big day.

I think that if he does see his shadow tomorrow morning we shove him back in his hole and make him keep repeating the day until he gets it right.
