Punxsutawny Phil is on vacation
See! Phil took a vacation and came to the deep South for a little rest and relaxation! He brought his friends too. There was another guy running up the hill. I spotted Phil crossing the road. Maybe there was an armadillo watching to see if it was really possible.
Here’s the story…My first off period I ran to the store to grab a snack. Let’s just say morning “finds” near the cafeteria did not make me want to eat lunchroom food today. Without too much detail there were several of Phil’s distant cousins who gave up the ghost in various hard to reach places. EW! So I took off to the nearby convenience store. On the way back I saw this brown thing scurrying up the hill. “Oh, look a beaver!” Um, why would there be a beaver near here? Can’t be. Then I turned the corner and saw this guy waiting to cross the road. I turned around a grabbed my camera. Thought it was cute.

my neighbor use to have a ground hog in their backyard and sometimes he would come over (along with our deer and squirrels and wild turkeys and rabbits–you’d think we lived in a nature preserve even though we’re in the city limits). I haven’t seen him in a couple of years–maybe our dog made him decide to move to a different neighborhood.
