The Leetonia Ground Hog came out in full attack against then continuation of winter yesterday. Although, we had about 3 inches of rain/sleet/snow/ice covering everything he did not see his shadow.
This however was not the only sign of Spring. We actually saw a dozen Robins. The earliest ever sighting of this bird, I or anyone else can remember. We all felt sorry for them unable to peck through the frozen ground and wonder if they are going to break down and eat seeds from the bird feeders. Something I have never seen a Robin do. But I have never seen a Robin on Feb 2nd before.
We still have a lot of firewood left on our porch this year. This represents a warmer than usual winter so far. If we make it through February without using much wood we might have some left over for next year. This is a much better thing then not having enough wood to make it through the winter as we feared our first and coldest winter here. So for all you Leetonia lovers take heart that mild days are in our future and the time to come to camp is closer rather than farther away. Have a great Leetonia day. Mountain girl, Paula, logging out!
