A Change in Rule

The groundhog has been dethroned.

My ongoing home improvement projects called for me to move between indoors and outdoors yesterday. Changing from winter jacket to sweatshirt to short sleeve shirt as the day warmed, I paused for a bit to simply sit and bask in the afternoon sun.  It was then that I notices scores of birds on a southerly course - and a yellow jacket buzzing at my elbow.

Considering the groundhog's flawed prediction of six more weeks of adverse weather, it seems the birds and bees are to be be the new prognosticators of weather.
