Today is Groundhog Day! You know, the day the famous groundhog uses his shadow to predict the end of winter. Which groundhog, you ask? As it turns out, acording to Wikipedia, there are quite a few to choose among: Balzac Billy, Buckeye Chuck, Dunkirk Dave, General Beauregard Lee, Jimmy the Groundhog, Malverne Mel, Pat Lane, Queen Charlotte, Shubenacadie Sam, Sir Walter Wally, Staten Island Chuck, West Indies Wilbur, and Wiarton Willie. And don’t forget the most famous of the bunch: Punxsutawney Phil.
In honor of this tradition, I offer you two quotes, based on four Word Sudoku puzzles of varying sizes. The first is part of the history of this day: The celebration of Groundhog Day began with Pennsylvania's earliest settlers. They brought with them the legend of Candlemas Day:

The second puzzle quote is an explanation of what America’s most famous groundhog does, and what it means…according to the folks at Gobbler's Knob, his home. The quote puzzle uses the same Word Sudoku puzzles you just completed for the Candlemas Day legend quote; just fill in the letters!
Solution first thing in the morning.
Thanks,
