I looked out behind the office and thought I was seeing double. Turns out the groundhog that lives back there does have a friend. This one, which I'm assuming is male, let me get a little closer but was still pretty skittish. I wonder if they have babies in their nest.

Probably mates. Will you be celebrating Groundhog's Day next year?

It really was. That groundhog has been living back there a couple of years and I have only seen her. This is the first time I've seen another one.

We don't have groundhogs here. They look quite cute.
