Yesterday evening, we looked out over our yard from the dinner table and discovered a new guest in our backyard: a groundhog! The groundhog (also known as a woodchuck, but I used groundhog in reference to another groundhog I know) was hanging around the woodline, munching on the leaves it could find. Occasionally, it would stand up to work on higher leaves in the plants at the edge of our yard.
Kelly and I find it amazing it is to see such a variety of wildlife. We’ve lived in homes bordering woods before, but never have we seen so many different animals coming and going. Now if we could put up some bird feeders and get some trees, we could add more birds to the mix, something I’m finding myself missing lately.
