I saw a groundhog wandering around my backyard yesterday. It was a sunny day but he didn't seem to be scared of his shadow. Looking at the 15 day forecast, winter seems to be just starting here. Many single digit lows, highs in the teens, and chances of snow. So far we haven't been below 15F yet this winter.

Thanks, @jmm1837, for the identification. I'm only checking back now, so I didn't see the question earlier.

This tree appears to be sneaking out of the woods. Rusty

Nicole, your post reminded me of something that happened 20 years ago that still makes me laugh to this day. Every time I asked my oldest grandson (now 23) for a kiss, he would lean in for it and at the last second he would stick out his tongue and touch my lips. When I’d pull back and looked at him with eyes wide, he laughed hysterically. Every request for a kiss turned out the same. One day I decided turnabout was fair play and reversed the game. When he came in for the kiss, I stuck my tongue out. He looked at me, opened his mouth and said, “You licked my lick!” And then we both laughed!
