Ground Hawg Day

Everyone loves ground hog day! I think today there is no chance of that little gaffer seeing his shadow. Whee! Should be good to go for an early spring on account of the wicked blizzard that just blew in… sigh. Oh well, here’s some cute photos of the kids & Reg’s cool groundhog day snack/craft. Ain’t it cute? Delicious too.

As an aside, what’s the point of naming these g-hawgs such annoyingly long and obscure names? Punxsutawney Phil? Chattanooga Chuck? Holtsville Hal? Why not just simply Ted? Or Len? Or Ben?

I have a dream. Where groundhawgs, marmots and other small cave dwelling creatures, can have single syllable names that are easy for people to pronounce. I have a dream!
