Winter had it's toll on a few of the refudge's animal population. The rangers name their groundhog Scoorge because of the way he acted when they were trying to get him for his physical but yes he woke up for a tiny bit on February the second and saw his shadow and went right back in meaning at least six more weeks of winter.The next day it snowed a good three inches. Abby didn't have to go to the office and just stayed in by the fire place.
Before Valentine's day Harry came to visit and had a nice young boy about the age of seven or eight with him. When he left the boy stayed with Abby. Abby enjoyed his company and fixed his favorite snack of roasted marshmallows like when he just two. Donavan sure was growing up. Harry told her that he was being home schooled and the internet site that he used for his schooling . Harry thought this was the safest place for him since the refudge was closed for the winter.
With the refudge closed for the winter Abby could do her job from the house and the rangers on duty could go there for their briefings, Which was great for Abby meaning she still got up early and fixed Donavan's breakfast of cereal and cinnamon toast with hot choclate. Donavan looked really weird at her and said I think I do remember you but momma called you another name. Abby explained no babydoll it was you that gave me that name. You liked my last name and called my aunty Shell. He just smiled and said I still do. Abby gave him a hug and said well that's my name you can call me. Abby thought to herself little guy you'll understand when you get older.
