Groundhog Day

The groundhog did not have a shadow here in Florida...does that mean Spring is just around the corner? I hope so! Up north, he did see his shadow in Punxsy...so they have 6 more weeks of winter.

Gobbler's Knob is very much alive and well. We visited in August of 2007 when I was pregnant with Jay visiting with my folks in Reynoldsville, PA.
Here is where they pull him out of a makeshift burrow. There was still hay in it when we opened the little doors and peered in!

This was taken right out in front of the library. These groundhogs are painted like the Ocala horses and are placed all around the town of Punxsatawney.

Here is where the Groundhogs live year round. There is one up on its hind legs trying to get the attention of a child in the library. Two more are laying in the little burrows. I believe there were like 5 or 6 all total in there. This photo was taken through a window outside of the library.

We had a very busy and exciting morning. Super Science, three parent helpers and some good old fashioned learning fun!
How cute is that hat exclaiming, "6 more weeks of winter!".
The children LOVE www.starfall.com!
