Weeding Not Required
Posted on May 29, 2012 in Animals, Wildlife
With all of the rain that we’ve had lately, the grass, flowers & weeds are growing like crazy. Late last week, however, I noticed that there were LESS weeds than usual. Hmmm…..how could that be? Then on Sunday I saw the culprit! This cute groundhog – who apparently lives on the side of my house – has been munching on all of my plants. When I saw him I tapped on the window and the first and second times I did that, he ran off. Then he got brave and just climbed up on the rock pile and stared at me…a tad bit defiantly I might add. I decided that I can’t win, so I might as well just photograph the little devil! Here he is sitting on the rocks with some pretty purple flowers down in front. Below….he’s EATING the purple flowers! I will no longer have to do any weeding in my garden, but I also won’t have any flowers! I enjoy watching his antics as he mows down anything that’s edible…he’s a hungry little groundhog!
My daughter and I enjoyed looking at the groundhog and the flowers. It made us happy. Thank you!
Glad you like the groundhog photos! I haven’t seen him in a couple of weeks now. I guess he moved on and is cleaning up someone else’s garden!
