Groundhog Day Report

So, the Official Groundhog saw his shadow and thus predicted 6 more weeks of winter.  I decided to celebrate this lovely animal holiday by first making groundhog cookies.  They are gluten free...it was challenging to figure out how to manage cutting them out, but I used the freezer to help them keep shape after rolling the dough.

Then I went to the zoo, where the giraffe not only had her baby alongside, but a special shadow of her own:

The zebras were surprisingly close to the fence:

Some friends came over for music.  We had groundhog cookies and groundhog gravy, which is chocolate tapioca pudding, and we sang the Groundhog Song.

Lastly here is a healing cloth I made for an artist friend with a serious hand injury.  Jude had a post a while ago about cloths in windows, which reminded me to consider color from front and back:  the bottom picture here is how the cloth looks with light coming through from behind:
