Chippy stuck his head out of his comfy den this morning, saw the snow and ran back in for a few more days of sleep. The job of reporting on the woodpile's "Vole Day" (February 2) falls to me your friendly neighborhood squirrel, Bushy. Most folks like to celebrate "Ground Hog Day". We have a bit of a dilemma at the woodpile. We had a teenage ground hog join us at the woodpile this past summer. We warned her to avoided the plants in the neighbor's garden. ... She gave into temptation and clear cut a wide path through the veggie patch. ... She was never seen again. Rumors have it, she was "relocated" by the Garden Mafia. So, we have had to improvise.
Welcome to our 1st inaugural "Vole Day." By far the cutest and most cuddly member of the woodpile family is Mrs. Vole. She gracious volunteered to take on this all important role. She came out to great fanfare. I had the honor are being the first critter to look for her shadow. To my embarrassment, I looked and looked and couldn't find it. Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal tried next. They flew all around but they couldn't find it either.
We really want to find her shadow so we could get another six weeks of winter. Everyone wants more snow, so they can go sledding again!
