Groundhog Day




OK...I need someone to explain something to me. I was always raised believing only Fools and Yankees predict the weather, I which I am neither. So why do we once a year listen to a rodent about the weather? Our local groundhog or whistlepig said we will have six more weeks of winter. I am about done with winter I would have been glad to hear spring is on it way. But no Nibbles the groundhog came of his carrier and told Andi McDowell that winter is still here. Yes we had our local celebrate come out and tell us about groundhogs. She said she talks groundhog. Well you might be a redneck if you say something like that out loud. The girls meet her. They said she was real nice and pretty but they didn't know she was famous. She was just sitting on the hay next to them. We stayed at the barn and did a round of rodent triva. Now I can tell you how big a groundhog is, how long they will live, and how many little pigs they have at one time. Needless to say I am not smarter than the girls because they knew most of the answers. But our family still won the game with the most correct answers. Are you wondering what the prize is when you win rodent triva? We won a game of pick up sticks. You know, only in NC.
