February 2 is Groundhog Day
Determining if there will be another six weeks of Winter based on whether a marmot sees its shadow or not on February 2 is complete codswallop, but it's a reason for folks to get outside after being cooped up for far too long, and to dance around and be silly.
Below is a video taken through a window, as our local groundhog grazed in our backyard garden.
Groundhogs, also called woodchucks and whistle-pigs (look it up, it's true!) are native to North America, and are surprisingly agile and fast.
They also like to dig, such as under your building's foundation, and they'll eat their way through your vegetable garden, or in our case, the Tall Sunflower plants.
I'll plant more, as I rather like the chubby rodents.
