Good Morning 2012!

Man! Back from a good winter's sleep! Always nice to wake up in a new year, ya know? I mean you humans blow some horns, throw some confetti, kiss some chick you've beer goggled late into the night and then finally bed down drunkenly on New Year's eve for a few hours sleep before waking to a hangover and the day off from work. Not much there compared to groundhog life. First we spend a couple weeks stuffing ourselves silly — I mean eating everything we can, puttin' on the winter weight — then we drag a few fresh leaves into the burrow to make a nice warm bed for the winter and finally we climb into bed for a great four month sleep! Man, what a treat! Nothing like sleeping in. Oh and waking up? That's awesome too. Talk about the morning munchies? Whew, when I get up mommy need to feed! This year I got the munchies around April 13th and started scouting around the back entrance for some grub. But it wasn't the good stuff around the front entrance, so on April 26th I started cleaning out the front entrance and found my way to the tasty-clover that grows there.  Here's a couple pics:

Now if the human would just cut the dang grass and get a better camera we can get on with the grubbin'!
