Summer 2011

It has been a very busy summer here with the newest generation of groundhogs. This year we have 2 mamas and 5 babies... we think 3 belong to one mama and 2 belong to the other. But we're not sure, because all 5 babies certainly did stick together (not so much now as they are getting older). The same cannot be said for the 2 adults. Serious turf wars.







We captured lots of great pictures. We named one of the little guys Braveheart because he was incredibly daring and social. He would come right up to us looking for a treat. He even took carrots from our hands. The others were more timid, but got accustomed to us after a while. They are so adorable and fun! Yes, even though they dig lots of holes in our yard and chew on our porch. How could anyone get mad at these sweet faces??




















oh boy... looks like I woke up too early.
