His name is Gordie. Gordie the groundhog. And he lives under our shed. He hangs around the garden and eats some of my plants. But I love him, anyways. Yesterday I followed him home and stood on the side and snapped photos every time he stuck his head out thinking I was gone. So much fun. For me. For him? Not so much. Poor bugger.
How was your day yesterday?
He's so adorable. You'll see on my blog today that I won't be posting or visiting anymore I explain why, and maybe one day I'll have a house alone again and can restart blogging ,there are too many people 24 hours a day...I can't blog anymore, but i'll aways be grateful to you my dear girls xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you are leaving the blogging world, Lorraine. You know how much everyone will miss you. But you need to do what's best for you right now. I hope you return one day. xo
DeleteThe whole time we lived in Aylmer, we never had lettuce from our garden. There was one of those critters that was not living in our backyard but as soon the lettuce was ready, would just come for a day and then without any thanks move out. We also had sunflowers... in august it had the squirrel so happy! grrrr
ReplyDeleteLiving in our camping, long weekend mean lot of people. We are so happy when it's over and we get the place to ourselves. I am also an introvert, I like people, 2-3 at the time, not hundreds, if you know what I mean LOL
Yes, I know exactly what you mean, says the introvert! That's how I like my people, too. Less of them. LOL...
DeleteHey Gordie!!
ReplyDeleteYour own groundhog, Martha. Couldn't think of a better time to pass the time.
I had fun with this little critter but I don't think it was as much fun for him!
DeleteWOW what a great photo. Reminds me of groundhog day here in the states.
ReplyDeleteWe have it here, too. And it also makes me think of the movie with Bill Murray!
Deletenever seen one close up. They are pretty cute. Spent too much outside considering the heat and humidity this weekend. Glad it's cooling down a bit.
ReplyDeleteHeat and humidity are not fun.That's nice that it's cooled down.
Deleteha, ha! looks like he's giving you the stink eye to bugger off!
ReplyDeleteYes, it certainly does! Poor critter...
DeletePoor Gordie has that "hounded by the papparazzi" look to him!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! That would be me.
DeleteCute photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda
DeleteHe's cute and I like his name :) I'm sure the birds here get tired of be snapping pictures of them :)
ReplyDeleteMy day yesterday was a good one :)
betty
That's nice that you had a good day. And I hope today is just as nice!
Deleteso cute, and you have a name for him, lol.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! All the animals around here are named. So much fun.
DeleteHe is so cute! I want to pet him, but that would be the squirrel incident all over again. That is a great shot! It's really nice that you let him live with you in peace!
ReplyDeleteI live in peace with all the animals that visit my garden. I could never hurt any one of them.
DeleteWe don't have groundhogs here but had a cousin of his which I haven't seen for years.
ReplyDeleteWe have quite a few groundhogs around here. And rabbits, too.
Deletevery cute
ReplyDeleteHe is!
DeleteHahaha, this is great. You are so funny.
ReplyDeleteMy day was very nice. I've got a big cleaning next two days ahead. Then when Tim gets out of work on Thursday, we begin our nice long staycation.
Hot dog.
Love that! You must be really looking forward to that.
DeleteGordie is an endearing little guy, especially for a groundhog. I've never been endeared to a ground hog before.
ReplyDeleteWell, there's always a first time for everything, Robyn! Hahaha...
DeleteGordie looks nice. So kind of you. Since it eats your plants also you are having love on him...
ReplyDeleteI don't mind. And it's nice that he feels so comfortable in my garden.
DeletePhenomenal composition, Martha! And darling! If I ever live in a place where I can garden, my garden will be for bees, butterflies and other critters. Kudos to you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have it any other way, Louise. Sometimes I fence off sections of the garden to give the plants a chance to grow, but otherwise, I don't mind. They're just trying to live.
