The Groundhog, the Lamb and the Lion

On this lamb-like first day of March, I think of the groundhog. Groundhog's Day arrived cold, snowy and icy, and the groundhog didn't see his shadow. That means spring must be on its way. We've had a few spring-like days since, but the windy, snowy winter days outnumbered them. Today it's in the 40s and sunny, and the grass is really trying to turn green. If March comes in like a lamb, it leaves like a lion. Does that mean more snow? Or that the groundhog is wrong? Or maybe it means I should forget about the groundhog, lamb and the lion, as well as the cold winds and snow, and only focus on the signs of spring. As I walked the dogs today, I listened to the Canada geese overhead and joyous birds, and watched the sheep search for those blades of green.
