Just saw a ground hog out looking for greens in the back yard.

It has come and gone.  Pascagoula Peat, or what his name is did NOT see his shadow.  I don't thing we have ground hogs down this way.  We have our share of 'possums and armadillos, though.

Yea, this one wasn't see any shadow either.  At first I thought it was a raccoon looking for worms since it's been raining so much.  This old girl lives under the barn and will be out with a new batch of younguns' around mid May /June.

This is the first time I've heard "lives under the barn" without a reference to contributing to its demise.

I've never heard that expression before.....  It truly does and has for several years now, live under the barn.  I guess technically, it just a rather large utility shed, but it has a gambrel roof and looks like a small barn.

I have a ground hog that lives under my shed too. His name is Chuck and the kids think I'm crazy when I tell them the whistle-pig is out.
He doesn't get along with my dogs. The Dogs almost got him last year. Maybe Chuck will find a new home this year. one that's a little safer.
