New: "Remember When" by Juanita Lovret (From "The Tustin News"):

The power of 'The Groundhog' back when

February was the kid's favorite month

Savings plans were rooted in 'penny' adages

Flowers give way to gray

Losing a chunk of her past

On wearin' o the green today

Peter, Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton Tail were her old friends

Old weather adages have scientific bases
