#@#$&^&(*) -ed Little Ground Hog Saw His Shadow!


Well, it happened, yesterday. Puxatony Phil, the most famous of ground hogs, saw his shadow. According to the followers of this famous mammal, that means 6 more weeks of winter. (Sigh!)

The only thing that comforts me is that Puxatony Phil is correct only 37% of the time.

I just went to the window and looked outside. Little tiny flakes of snow were still dusting the ground. The snow on the ground is now down to about 15 inches. I think the odds are in Puxatony's favor for being right about Minnesota. If we only have 6 more weeks of winter, we will be lucky!

Thanks, Phil, I just wish you hadn't seen your shadow!

Me and My Shadow

Some days are like this. It's rare, but I'm bored. I shouldn't be because I have to clean my house, make some jewelry, and cook supper. Yet, today, on this gorgeous summer day, I'm feeling lazy and bored. When I was a child, I was alone a lot. There weren't many children in my neighborhood. Actually, there was only one that I could call a playmate. Her name was Dolores and she was 4 years older than me. She was very nice to me, but she was older than me, so I didn't see much of her either. I had no brothers or sisters. I was an only child. I wasn't lonely though. I had many friends. There was Fu-fu, Kastrina, and Drinkwater. Yes, you guessed it, they were imaginary, but they were my friends. I had one other friend, my shadow. We played a lot together when no one was around. Since I was so bored today, I decided to do something that I could never do as a child, and that is to take pictures of me playing with my shadow. Here they are. It's just Me and My Shadow.


















Now, where did that Shadow go?



















Here you are. I feel like Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone With the Wind." This is fun!


















We're stepping high on the grass! This is good exercise too!


















Now, I'm a paper doll. I haven't played with paper dolls since I was little! I love it!



















Now, we are at the disco with John Travolta strutting our stuff on the dance floor.



















Well, I'm still dancing to the music only I can hear. I wonder what the neighbors think? Oh, well, me and my shadow have had a great time! Bye. I'm going to take a nap. I'm tired.
