Groundhog Day 2016 and 2017 - check the daffodils

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Thursday, February 9, 2017

Not finding a groundhog in Ada on Feb. 2, this photographer resorted to taking a photo similar to the one from last year...Abby checking out the daffodils popping through the ground at the Railroad Park.  

The growth of the daffodils compares favorably to last year's; however, the maturity of the golden retriever pup is significant. 

Abby was 4 months old a year ago, now 16 months. And, yes, Abby saw her shadow on a bright, sunny Thursday morning as did wild groundhogs here as well as Punxsutawney Phil in Pennsylvania.
