This day was special around our house......when our girls were growing up & occasionally had the treat of staying with MY grandparents on a summer day.....that pesky little groundhog would be causing much grief on the garden front........so Megan with her toy gun and Grandad with his shot gun would stand at the kitchen door and pretend to shoot in the air to scare away Grandad's little pesk.........then he would burst into song...."sharpen up your ax.. whistle up your dog..goin' down to Grandad's to catch a groundhog"....It wasn't until last year, that I even realized it was an actual song!..........So every year on this day, a song was sung, a card was sent, a phone call made....all to remember a little groundhog, and alot of love!
Megan is now 33, and I am sure that is a lasting memory .....she can now pass it on to her first born expected soon........."goin' down to Grandad's to catch a groundhog"........I am so blessed!
