Shadow or not shadow?

It's about February 2, when it is crucial if the groundhog comes out or not? But some places like in Europe it is the BEAR to watch on this day

Winny-the-POOH

( a very famous bear)

telling the other bears

that on February 2
Shadow or not to shadow?

This is the question!

Shadow is no good,

because only in sunshine can a bear see his shadow
which means

a nice day.

That is only to fool you

because winter is

not over

and will go back to sleep

for 40 more wintry days! :(

We used to play

shadow making with hands

on the wall

when light is coming from the back

What is it?

A shadow of a....?


All right now: this is a
barking dog
to let you know
he can see his shadow!

This year in 2011 in our region
was such miserable day
that no animal would
want to come out
but certainly was no shadow to see
of anything or anybody.

Somehow for TV show
in New York and Pennsylvania
they dragged the poor animal out
asking the question
but went back to sleep
exhausted after the show.
Fallowing night was the coldest night
of the season.

What else than?
"give me an other storm.."
as it is going on here
perhaps 40 more days!
wow! That is wow
and the shadow game
is not a science
that is the trouble.
:(((((((((
Shadow or not to shadow
is not the answer
just wait and see
and shovel the coming more snow
