This is the groundhog that lives under my mother's deck. Or, it used to be my mother's deck. I hope the people who now live there enjoy him as much as Mom did. He always loved the apples that fall in the yard. Happy Groundhog Day!
I had a Mama Groundhog living down near the creek for years. Then another one made a home under my shed, I suspect it was one of her kids. There was a plum tree much closer to his burrow than hers and when she came up to eat one day she found the youngster eating plums on the ground. She chased him away in short order then went back to the tree. In a spiral pattern around and around the tree she picked up every plum, took a bite and threw it back down. Let that damn whippersnapper eat leftovers. xoxoxoBruce

Early spring for an apple! That was easy!
