I'm half expecting to see Marlin Perkins


Ever since throwing in the gardening towel, and opening up our backyard as "Woodchuck's Vacation Club," the amount and diversity of wildlife is brimming on staggering.

Red and grey squirrels, chipmunks. 2 (count them 1, 2...) ground hogs, and rabbits and baby rabbits beyond counting. And let's not forget the baby painted turtle. Really Marlin Perkins can't be far.

Last week there were 8 squirrels, at one sitting, eating something out of the grass. The woodchucks are called couch and love seat -- respect of their size. Big and bigger.

Last night we set up the wildlife camera to catch our nocturnal guests in action. In the past we have seen raccoons, skunks.... no so good, and snakes in infrared images.
