It's funny, but I grew up 20 miles from ol' Phils stompin ground. We never did pay too much attention to what he "said". I still don't!!

Take care, have fun, and do good!

27C here again today and dry as chips wish this drought would come to an end soon, cant farm dust. there is a saying among the farmers here ( there is money in mud no money in dust ) however that said the guys with irrigation are making a killing on fodder sales .
 
Okay, the saying in STL is, "If you don't like the weather today, just wait till tomorrow." I'm not liking tomorrow. We had almost 80's in late March, and a winter mix coming this weekend. Man I'm glad the cookers are under the porch out back.
 
Another lovely spring day!!! 12" of snow on the ground when I left for work this morning and its still snowing pretty good. At least it's warmer(28*F) this morning, two days ago it was 3 above.

I wonder how smoked groundhog would taste?????

I don't know how it would taste. I remember my father talking about growing up in Armstrong County, PA. He would hunt the groundhogs in the fields of his Uncles' farms. The holes were a danger to the horses that were used to work the fields. He called them "whistle pigs". He and his brother would stake out a likely hole, and when they saw one pop up, one of them would whistle. The woodchuck would pop up a little higher and look for the whistle. When that happened, the "whistle pig" would be shot by one of their .22s.

According to Dad, his grandmother used to parboil the groundhog before roasting it.

Don't know if this has affected the weather some 70 years later. Who knows??

Take care, have fun, and do good!

Can't imagine they would be too bad tasting, all they eat is grass and roots. Probably better than some of the snowshoe hares I've shot late in season, they start tasting like cedar brush. Still snowing.....
 
Hey everyone, I figured out why the weather is so bad right now. It's because of the time change being moved to early March. So basically, it's not an act of God like many would assume. It's an act of Congress. Go figure, politicians messing things up again.
So I guess we need to protest the early time chnge for next year. Everyone write your congress person and tell them "Keep the time". They said it would improve everyone's spirits by beating winter depression, but they didn't mention extending winter till May. Always something in the small print.
