Howdy all. Another nice spring day. Started in upper 40s, getting to upper 60s (I hope). But sunny.

It looks like little Chuckie may be living under the deck — not sure. I’ve seen bunnies and possum and cats, also go under there. Don’t know who has set up a domicile. I won’t even look. Wouldn’t want to upset a skunk.

Anyway . . .

Those bricks are about 7 inches long. Chuckie is barely longer than 1.

Late yesterday afternoon, I saw two groundhogs in the back yard. One much bigger than Chuckie. I tried to sneak outside to get a picture, but because the sun was directly over their heads, it was impossible. And when I moved, they scattered quickly.

I did get this security camera video early, early, this morning.

The wood boards on the deck are 5 inches wide. This chunky mama covers almost 4 of them.

Thus, I’m guessing this is Chuckie’s Mama.

Lots of critter families this time of year. Glad to see them Enjoy Life
