Wee Groundhog
So I was out in the yard the other day, and I spied the wee-est groundhog hiding behind a tree. So that I could get good pictures, I gently knocked on the window to get Meg's attention, and she opened the door and snuck me the camera.
It turns out that we have at least 4 groundhogs which live in the greenhouse. This morning, I spied three of them in our three-bin composter (one in each bin, strangely). Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of this. I suspect that the fresh vegetable scraps they get from the compost keep them distracted from all of the tasty vegetables they could get at were they just to burrow under our garden fence. I hope they don't figure that out, but I hear tell that groundhogs, while incredibly cute, aren't all that bright.

On the Missouri Department of Conservation, someone wrote about groundhogs. It was a very informative article, except that the part where it said "The flesh of young and lean animals is good food" threw me for a loop.
