Our new Groundhog friend!

Just after the floods abated, we began seeing a ground hog meandering in the field behind the house. He is now a daily visitor, which leads me to believe there is a burrow nearby and possibly, a young groundhog soon to appear.

I plan to get a photo of our him/her and will post it. Who cares if a Groundhog is a giant member of the squirrel family. We think its pretty cool that we have one living here.

Pennsylvania has Phil. We have Hopkinton Harry/Harriet.
