Shoveled about four to five inches of the nice thick heavy stuff last night, then more of the same before leaving for work this morning.
I think I shall go have a word with a certain groundhog
Did have a curios meeting with a robin this morning while shoveling. He was hopping about my front yard, and did not fly away, even when I was within just a couple yards. He was not at all talkative, and was apparently rather put out at my presence. Since I was in a hurry I did not press the matter. After returning from work I noticed he was still in my front yard, but he seemed, well, "heavier"
That is when I noticed that the little fellow was staying near an area of lawn that was already exposed by the thaw. It was also on the lower part of a small hill, and was being water logged due to the melt. This was forcing worms to the surface, only to be gobbled up by my plump feathered little friend. Whoever coined the phrase "bird brain" must not have ever watched this little genius. He must have known what was going to happen, and only needed to wait for the meal
I certainly hope he gets a good rest with such a full belly.
The weather channel speaks of more storms on Sunday. Does anyone know how to prepare groundhog?
