Honestly, I've never trusted a woodchuck for anything but making a mess of hayfields.
It's rainy and cool right now, 53, which is 10 degrees higher than the average high for this date, upper 60s later. Tomorrow, the first day of spring, is to be in the lower 70s and the next day, the mid to upper 70s. I know to some of you that sounds normal, but here it is very strange. My roses have huge leaf buds and the early spring flowers have completely faded. The daffs are ready to burst.
