[Magdalen] Flowers That Bloom in May.

[Grace Cangialosi]

Well, good luck with that, Chad! There are always two holes...
I have groundhogs here, and we have to be vigilant about spotting any new holes, because the horses could break legs if they step in them. When I first moved here my son-in-law filled in 23 holes! There's a veritable groundhog city under the horses' dry lot now, but the entrance hole is down under a couple of logs where the horses can't get to it. My son-in-law has shot a number of them over the years--the only killing I'll permit on the place--including a couple he shot out of trees. I trapped one a few years ago and sent it off with a friend to its watery grave, and my dogs dispatched one once...I'll spare you the details.
