A groundhog appeared today and eyed our garden hungrily. Kerstin chased him around the yard and he sought refuge under our shed. Here he is, glaring at us after the runaround.
We've located his burrow in the raspberry patch and have also discovered a have-a-heart trap in our basement. The gopher doesn't stand a chance... if only we could figure out what to bait it with... But rodents aren't our big concern. The deer have discovered the new trees in our orchard and have been systematically stripping them of their leaves. It's really frustrating. Kerstin set up mesh cages around all but the cherries, so now they're after those. We need more material, but neither of us have the time to do it lately.
On the home front, Alden continues to enjoy indulging in rice cereal at dinner time and it's still pretty hilarious to watch. He gets better at it every day.
