Family Outing

A discovery of an unexpected number of woodchucks.

The other day I saw a woodchuck in the yard.  It's typical that I might see one in the course of spring.  This one seemed smaller than I remember woodchucks to be.  Not much smaller, but just a bit.  I surmised that it was a cub. He stuck around the same part of the yard for roughly half an hour.  The lawn must have been mighty tasty.

The next day, I get home to see four cubs in the yard.  Four!  I took a picture, but could only catch three of them in the same frame.



I go into the house for a bit and later look out and see five!  Five cubs.  Does this mean I won't have to mow the lawn this summer? *g*
