She's mad, ran out of apples for her

Hi Marmot,
My, are cousins, after all . Been awhile since the namesake was seen.
Had to go to Yellowstone to glimpse. People swoon in the presence of Marmots.
So help me, the park service gave Yellowstone's Marmots their own facebook page.
(am loaded up on apples now) great to hear from you,
Cheers,
Bill
