Happy Groundhog Day! Early Spring Or 6 More Weeks? AND Phyllis's Fun Fashion Show!

It's here!  It's here!  It's finally here!

GROUNDHOG DAY!!!

Here on Blueberry Hill this is cause for great excitement.  It's the day of days!  The moment Phyllis waits for ALL YEAR!

As you may know, this winter on Blueberry Hill has been a crazy one with the weather either unusually balmy for January (you remember those 2 days when it rained and flooded the basement...) or unusually arctic with day after sub-zero day (the vast majority of this frigid January!)

As a result, Some People have spent most of the winter holed up drinking hot chocolate with not-so-mini-marshmallows attempting not to become a groundhog ice cube!

Now, at long last, it's time to see what everybody's favorite groundhog has to say: early spring, or 6 more weeks of winter?

And so, Punxsutawney Phyllis, Sage of Sages, Seer of Seers, Prognosticator of Prognosticators, and Weather Prophet Extraordinaire did set forth from her burrow on Blueberry Hill this Sunday February 2, 2014  at 7:25 AM under sunny skies with a calm wind, 82% humidity and 28 degrees, and declare: "There's my shadow!  6 MORE WEEKS OF WINTER!"

Though I am disappointed to hear that winter plans to hang around, I certainly enjoyed watching the show.  Phyllis does everything with flair :)  Here she is making her prediction in my Phyllis's Fun Fashion Show sample (which I totally cheated on by getting my daughter to execute my idea in photoshop because I - shockingly - have not learned how to use it since Monday!)

All Weather Phyllis - idea by me, execution by Katie :)

And now, in celebration of Groundhog Day, I want to welcome you to an exclusive showing of top fashion by outstanding designers, some of them very new to the world of fashion - the very hautest in haute couture!

Prepare yourselves...

(and I mean really)

... because here comes Phyllis on the runway!
