A Year Ago...

Audrey and I were amazed to get to watch Lily, the black bear, give birth to Hope via a "den cam". Well yesterday, according to the North American Bear Center, Lily gave birth to two new little cubs.

Here you can see mom, big sister and babies being oh so adorable.




You can watch Lily and her cubs here. They are so cute! You'll get hooked once you start! Enjoy!

Did He or Didn't He...

From Fox News:

"PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. — The groundhog has spoken. And it's bad news.

Punxsutawney Phil has emerged to see his shadow before chilly revelers in Pennsylvania, meaning winter will last another six weeks.

German tradition holds that if a hibernating animal sees its shadow on Feb. 2 — the Christian holiday of Candlemas — winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow is seen, legend says spring will come early.

The Inner Circle of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club annually announces Phil's forecast at dawn on Gobbler's Knob, about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.

Phil's announcement came before hundreds of onlookers who huddled as temperatures hovered in the teens.

The Groundhog Club says since 1887 Phil has predicted more winter weather by seeing his shadow nearly 100 times, but there are no records for nine years."



He did! Six more weeks of winter!

Remember the other day...

when I posted about Lily the black bear? Well yesterday (Friday, January 22, 2010) she became a momma (researchers think she only had one cub).

Excerpt taken from www.bear.org:
"The long wait is over. When labor started at 1:59 PM CST yesterday, we thought it would be short. Cubs average only ¾ pound and 9 inches long. How long could that take? Along with thousands of you, we spent a sleepless night as bouts of labor continued for 21 hours and 39 minutes. Finally, at 11:38 AM CST, Lily made some contortions, looked under her, and began the intense sweet motherly grunts that bears only make to cubs. Could it be? A loud squawk from the cub made it definite. Lily tucked her head under her chest to care for the cub and breathe on it."

To watch the video have volume on and turned up. There is a constant buzzing but you will be able to hear the new cub crying.


We have enjoyed watching Lily nesting and now mothering her cub. We're excited to get our first glimpse of her little baby.

What Song Is In Your Heart?



The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

Did He See His Shadow?

From Fox News:

“Punxsutawney Phil emerged just after dawn in front of an estimated 13,000 witnesses.

The annual ritual takes place on Gobbler’s Knob, a tiny hill in Punxsutawney, a borough of about 6,100 residents some 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.

According to German superstition, if a hibernating animal casts a shadow on Feb. 2 — the Christian holiday of Candlemas — winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow is seen, legend says, spring will come early. Since 1887, Phil has seen his shadow 97 times, hasn’t seen it 15 times, and there are no records for nine years, according to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club.




Happy Groundhog's Day!
