   Well, I don’t know, lots of things come to my mind, but my mind is always working overtime!
   The question is, what are you doing? 😉

   Ummm…..to prepare for Groundhog’s Day. Do you have to wrap gifts? Do you drink wine and giggle? Is there some kind of Victorian poem you read the children? I guess I don’t know, either.

   Groundhogs day is the unofficial first day of spring! Birds start to act differently, weather starts to show improvement and the sun appears to be out longer! No gifts, although wine is an option and poems are an option! This is the day when the Mr. Woodchuck wakes up from hibernation and starts to search for Ms Woodchuck! Mr. Woodchuck then has the option to look around for its shadow!! If it sees it then it knows that winter will continue for 6 more weeks (and heads back to bed)! If it doesn’t see its shadow, it knows spring will be early and heads out of its cave! My favorite holiday of the year for sure!

   Twas the Night before Groundhog’s Day
   And all through the lawn
   The ground hog was stirring
   And stifling a yawn

   He’d been in that hole
   In his jaunty woolen cap
   And totally pissed
   At all the people disturbing his nap!

   That’s all I got…time to take the cough syrup.

    Good poem, Susan 🙂 We had a resident ground hog once. We had a nice vegetable garden, a small stream of water 10 feet away from it, and a shed nearby. He had food, water, and shelter. But I had a dog. And those beady little eyes on Frank (we named him Frank) scared me. My neighbor captured Frank and took him to a very large pond 3 miles away. Two months later, Frank was back. A very persistent fellow…
