I didn't know about the tree thing either until I looked up more about them after watching the babies hang like koalas on my walnut tree. I had a moment where I thought mine were precocious from eating all my tomatoes. :) Katkoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165342896298946047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-68229242879186407132013-02-02T13:56:35.477-05:002013-02-02T13:56:35.477-05:00the movie 'groundhog day' is one of my fav...the movie 'groundhog day' is one of my favorites... the mystical nature of "dayeen, dayoud".. wood chucks are a terrible nuisance in the garden: I didn't know that they were groundhogs.

She would nibble plants like a rabbit. Then, she exploded into a litter. That was trying. They ate my tomatoes and I had the hardest time trying to garden with them. They were a joy to watch though. They would run around like excited puppies. They chirped. They would love to climb the trees. I eventually never saw them again. It seems they moved on. the mother was gone as well. Perhaps it was her time. They don't live very long. After they were gone, i was glad for my garden, but I still feel sad that they aren't chirping and bounding up trees any more. I miss them.Katkoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165342896298946047noreply@blogger.com
