Fear the Rodent




As is a tradition for us we went to see our local groundhog on Feb 2nd. The Yellow River Game Ranch is home to General Beauxregard Lee. You can find more about Beau here: http://www.yellowrivergameranch.com/bio.htm. We have seen him several years ina row now. This year it was COLD for Georgia. When we left the house it was 25 degrees. Since it was saturday there was quite a crowd waiting for the furry weatherman. And wait we did! They rang the bell for Beaux to come out and get his breakfast and he waited 30 minutes to come out while we were freezing. In the end there was no shadow to see so winter will be over early here in GA.
While we out celebrating our anniversiary the kids made some brownies for us with a special note in the Pan.

I guess I was wrong about you celebrating a cold anniversary! Way to go kids--love the anniversary brownies you made for your mom and dad. I hope they shared with you!

You guys have so much fun! I'll bet the groundhog saw his shadow in Utah because winter is going to last until July this year. When I was growing up, there was a spectacular winter in 1948-49 that is still remembered as the worst winter in Utah history. The snow was over 3' deep in our front yard on 12th street. I was 10 and loved it ... Grandpa was 38 and hated it. He wasn't digging snow caves like us kids were but I did help him keep the driveway clean all winter long.
