WIARTON WILLIE

I was so lucky last weekend because I got to spend the weekend at Mitchell's place. Saturday was Ground Hog Day! Wiarton Willie, a white groundhog, wakes up from his hibernation, crawls up the tunnel from his burrow and looks around. If he sees his own shadow, that means six more weeks of winter. If he does not see his shadow that means early spring is on its way. Willie did not see his shadow today. Hooray, that means an early spring.
We did not go to Wiarton to see Willie but Mitchell and I went “on line” this morning to watch the Wiarton Willie webcam. We did not see him. In the afternoon I went for a drive with Mitchell’s family to a toy store called The Rocking Horse and we bought a birthday present for Mitchell’s cousin.
We found out at school on Monday that Mrs. Wynde got to cuddle Wiarton Willie at the parade and her husband took a photo. So you can see what Willie looks like
( not the real Willie though!)
