Happy Birthday Shadow and everything February

Happy Birthday Shadow !! The month starts off with Shadow's (one of our three dogs) birthday. We adopted her when she was a little over a year old and has been a great dog ever since, to be honest she does have one annoying habit like making noises in the car when going to the park but we still love her.
Next up, what is Mr. Puxatony Phil going to see or not see for that matter. No shadow?? So six more weeks of this cold hard winter we are having. To be honest I think this time he was wrong, it has been the mildest of winters that I can ever remember.
Ok, now that spring is around the corner that can only mean a couple of things.. Ribbit.. Ribbit. According to Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey the frogs and salamanders need some help crossing busy roadways. After attending a class / orientation on Amphibian Crossing we are set to help these creatures cross roadways on rainy nights in easy spring. More details in a later blog to see how we did.
We are always looking for a new place to go hiking, I forget how I found this place but it looks to be a winner as far as hiking is concerned. The Mariton Wildlife Sanctuary in Easton, PA offers many miles of hiking. One of the areas is by the power lines that look promising for bird watching come spring.
The month of February ends a little on a low note, Ginger and I have had colds for the past couple of weeks. Looks like this has been going around throughout our workplaces.
Can't wait for longer days and warmer weather.
