Howdy Friends -
I'm very gratified to announce that Booker has awoken from his winter slumber and has put in an appearance at the backyard buffet! The offerings at the salad bar were meager this early in the season — the leaves are not yet on the trees and the grass is scrubby. But by the end of April his favorite tasty clover will be in abundance and I'm thinking of seeding some alfalfa near is burrow for variety, maybe toss him a cherry tomato or a bit o' the cucumber to round out the meal.*
I snapped a couple of pics of him before a sudden squall passed through that sent him bookin' back to his burrow. (At the first flash of lightning I thought I scared the little guy off with my camera flash until a thunderclap followed a millisecond later absolving me.) I'll work on focus later in the season. Stay tuned.
Anyway, above is the first pic of the 2011 Groundhog season and here is an interview with a groundhog in the event your knowledge of the breed has some holes in it. =B
* Enlarging Booker's salad plate should not be confused with my ongoing efforts to domesticate MacGruder the Squirrel with nuts. =)
