Our marmots are awake!  And by 'our', I mean the two little ones that were sleeping under the deck of Gates.  We've been waiting a while for our first glimpse of them.  I saw a marmot running across the grass near Ender about two weeks ago, and we've been waiting since then for the two little ones to wake up.  I heard a thump from outside our window and joked to Thayer that it was probably a marmot falling off our bench.  I looked through the window, and lo and behold, there was a marmot! (Albeit not falling off our bench)
