A single marmot has awakened to take a very sleepy peek at whether it’s worth getting up; he looks like he needs a strong coffee!
All around, other awakenings are also happening. The springy blue sky weather …
… the buds and leaves appearing …
… and the birds beginning to think about nesting.
Isn’t it wonderful? Happy Wednesday.

Poor sleepy marmot can’t find his comb. Lovely blue skies and calm waters Lynette. Have a wonderful Wednesday. Allan

Thanks, Allan. He sure looked kind of rough. Actually, a lot like how I feel after a bad night. We had a lovely little respite there but we’re supposed to get rain and wind this afternoon (snow above 800 m) and last night 10 cm of snow on the Okanagan Connector with 100 k wind gusts. I’m sure I won’t be seeing the marmot for a while again!

Thank you, Jenn. I definitely have some spring fever going on too but we have a wind/rain storm headed our way again apparently starting this afternoon. Ugh.

Yes, the marmots are always cute even when they look grumpy. Thank you; I am. 😊 Yes, that Japanese garden is lovely and has a lovely location. I find it restful and pretty even when it’s just awakening after the winter. Cheers.

Adorable! And to wake up to such a beautiful sky! Spring is on its way for you, not me yet.

They sure are. Yes, we had a lovely little respite there but a wind/rain storm is approaching us and will arrive this afternoon, dropping snow at 800 m. It hit the Coquihalla and Okanagan Connector last night with 100km wind gusts and 10 cm of heavy snow. Yay. At least we’re not getting snow here at the valley floor but winter just doesn’t want to leave this year!

Stunning photos again, Lynette. I fear I look like that marmot most mornings, and I don’t like coffee!

Hahaha. 😊 Actually, I often look like that marmot, too, but I have coffee. I guess you have to have a good stiff tea and a morning walk or just take your time and wake up slowly, which isn’t a bad thing either, much better for us.

Thank you very much, Belinda. 🙂 Seeing him was a good sign but tonight we’re being whacked by a wind/rain storm (above 700 metres it’s wind and heavy snow) so I’m sure he’s back in the warmth of his burrow! We seem to be on a weather bungee cord right now. Ugh.

I love spring, too! That was a lovely little respite followed by a wind/rain storm but then again, March can be like that.

Your marmot looks very like our Maine woodchucks. They must be cousins…

Woodchucks and groundhogs are actually the same animal and are part of the large ground squirrel family known as marmots. The ones here are yellow-bellied marmots and live in a huge colony built into the breakwater rocks next to the lake. I find them very cute (when they’re awake enough for that!) and their little ones are adorable. Thanks for commenting. Cheers.

Yay! The marmot sightings have begun! They’re such little cuties. And a promising sign to see some buds and leaves appearing. After getting a preview of some nice spring weather, we’re expecting quite a bit of snow this weekend. Seems cruel.
