What is more Canadian than a groundhog that can predict the ending date of winter?
Last weekend I was up in Wiarton a small town north of Toronto and found the tombstone of the beloved Wiarton Willie.  Willie was a groundhog who packed a lot of purpose in his 7 years on this planet.  He became an icon for a small town.  There is even a hotel there in his namesake.

Willie lived only 7 years, but may we live our own lives with enthusiasm, zest, and purpose.

I’m not kidding - LOL

I remember Wiarton Willie!  I’m from Hamilton so I grew up with his yearly predictions smile
Wow, they actually have a tombstone for him, that’s one appreciated groundhog!
