Better Late


I met someone friendly on Groundhog Day and lost my focus in a bit of juvenile twitterpation. How could I possible ignore a holiday centered around a fat, bucktoothed marmot? Since my post is a little untimely I thought I would share some great groundhog facts and give you a little update. First off, did you know that groundhogs weigh about 13 pounds but can reach up to 30 lbs? That's some big rodent, huh? The groundhog has many names including woodchuck, whistle pig, marmot, and land beaver. The average groundhog moves 700 pounds of dirt while digging its burrow. If they're that industrious how are they also so rotund? Now that I have given you a few bits of animal knowledge that you can use to impress your friends I'll get back to today. It's been very busy. Lots of work. Etsy has been slow. Since I've had so much work I haven't had a lot of time to make art. I do have a custom piece that is almost done. On a happy note, tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Well I guess that might or might not be happy. I bought myself some ridiculously expensive chocolates. Maybe tomorrow I can drum up something more exciting to tell you. Who knows, you may end up getting to meet my new friend who distracted me in the first place.

Also- to everyone who has left me kind comments here, thank you! I appreciate your encouragement and love to hear from everyone whether I know you already or you've just tripped and landed in my little corner here.

Happy Valentine's Day, darlink! If I could figure out how to paste a photo of a bunch of roses in this comment space, I would!

700 pounds? Who knew?

Missed you Tuesday...

Marmots are our friends. I hope you had a wonderful St. Valentine's Day...I've been out-of-sorts, hence the silence. Love ya's.
