Yesterday was Groundhog Day, but it won't be the only groundhog day of the year. When you have your very own groundhog living in your backyard, nearly every day is a groundhog day.
Our backyard groundhog (Marmota monax) standing alert to possible danger.
That is, nearly every day during the half of the year that the groundhog isn't hibernating. In the summer, the groundhog grazing clover and grass on the lawn is an almost daily sight.

However, for the next six weeks (as predicted by Punxsutawney Phil) or so, this groundhog should still be resting in its burrow deep underground. Only when spring arrives with its profusion of tender new shoots, will the the
groundhog emerge -- ready to make up for months of fasting.
