[quote:OP 19554329:MV8yMTIxNjE1XzM1Nzk0Mjk2Xzg4NDQ5OTM=] Plans for this week getting ready for Groundhog Day we'll make some groundhog/hole/shadow theme projects from felt, yarn, pompoms, googly eyes, colored chenille sticks, seashells, packing peanuts, tissue paper, feathers, pinbacks, kraft paper, and cardboard. Got vague pictures of designs for pins, puppets, and a wac-a-mole game in mind already, so all we have to do is set the materials out for the kids, describe it, get it started, and clean up after it. Might have some extra for give-aways for new pals met along the Groundhog Day trail, or maybe put 'em up for auction for big bucks and see what happens. Hey you never know. Kinda more fun than the clean-up after dining on rodents. [/quote]

On February 2nd is the day the tree buds start to swell; whether or not the sun is shining. Fun! At the least, we'll be dressed in plaid and ride around watching for groundhogs pop up out of their holes. Then over brunch at the diner, we'll speculate if they pop right back down because they see their own shadow, or not. We know where to find them, too! They're at a local zoo, and there's a highway island around here that for some reason harbors a pod of groundhogs, and then of course there's the big magilla in Punxatawney Pennsylvania about a 5 hour drive away. "They say" winter's over if there are no shadows so the groundhogs stay up outside or else it'll be 6 more weeks of winter if the shadow scares them right back into the burrow. It's either this, or maybe by Saturday then, something better to do will come up. Probably it won't.
