A family of gophers

With a significant loss

But they carry on

While I was waiting to get my brakes done on my car  ( had three hours to wait), I started a book I am really enjoying and got a surprise visit in a near by field of gophers. There were three, what looked like a parent and two children. I asked the owner of the car shop about them and he said one of the parents had just gotten hit by a car not long ago.
