May the groundhog be hacked to bits

That first time each spring it catches you off guard. The sun is out and the degrees are up from where they have been. You indoors and for the first time in a while that doesn't seem like the best side of the door to place yourself.
And you go outside almost hypnotically by the day and its unforeseen beauty. In fact you do not just go outside and breath the air, you go outside and do something active. More than you meant to. You know as you step back inside this is the start of something big, and grand season of you becoming a better person in all of your mind, heart, and body.
Then it snows the next day.
And you are back in the same sorry mind frame.
