Saturday Squirrel.

Paw prints...

These paw prints in the recently fallen snow look like they were made by a rather rotund squirrel. These prints belong to a squirrel who is either very good at getting hand outs from students or scrounging up morsels from a drive in a trash can... or both. Whatever it is, he's warm this winter. But   wait... these prints are not from a squirrel but rather from Notre Dame's very own groundhog! Forget Phil from that Pennsylvania town that nobody can spell nor find on a map because we have our own groundhog... Ned. Ned from Notre Dame, who resides around St. Jospeh's Lake, likes to keep a low profile but was spotted through the snow. What he would non-verbal we know not, but I think his empty burrow says it all.

... from Ned tells us spring is springing soon.
