Happy Groundhog Day

Well, where I live we experienced a blizzard last night and most things are closed due to the snow. But in any event, today is groundhog day – and I know that we all trust a groundhog to tell us whether spring will come early.

Today Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow, so spring is supposed to come early…

Actually Phil has been right 39% of the time, so you can take what you will from this annual activity. I would like to believe the little fuzzy creature, but at the moment with all the snow we have I am not sure that is possible this year.

Tare Panda

Tare Panda is a panda book and game character from Japan. The name means lazy or droopy panda, and the character is a very lazy panda who has to get around by rolling over. It loves to eat mochi and relax in teacups.

 

 

 

I think this guy is sooo cute! I have seen stuffed animals of it before, and did not know what it was until I decided to research it today.

Do you love tarepanda too? You can find a lot of merchandise like the below stuffed panda at shopkawaii.com:

Here is a cake of the little guys:

Cake from Krallecakes

It looks just like this stack of stuffed pandas:

Angry Birds

Do you love to play Angry Birds as much as I do?

Here is an amazing set of cake toppers designed to be like the characters from the game:

These are 24 pieces in the set, all are edible. Cost is $115 – aviable from artisancakecompany on Esty.

If you have never played the game the green pigs stole the bird’s eggs, so you shoot the above pictured birds from a catapult to try and destroy the fortresses protecting the pigs. It is a lot more fun than it sounds! To learn more visit Rovio.com.

Squirrel Appreciation Day

January 21 was Squirrel Appreciation Day, sorry that I missed this post on the day of! But to honor the cute and humble squirrel, here are some pictures and facts:

There are more than 300 different species of squirrel.

“squirrel” comes from the Greek word skiouros meaning shadow-tailed.

Thanks to food supplies in cities and suburbs squirrels can reach a density far greater than in the actual wild.
