Critters:

Here's what we've seen lately around the property:
• the Donkeys were out this morning, the time change must have urged their walk-about instincts on
• another huge flock of turkeys, this time a bunch of the tom's were all puffed up and plummed out
• during a 6am Ned peepee outing, I heard what I thought were cat's fighting..I looked up into this tree to see two racoons having a domestic dispute. Apparently she was kicking him out of the tree hollow/den. This was funny til I realized how close this den is to the house and garden. Looks like we'll be setting the trap out soon. But then I'll worry she has babies, what if we trap her and the babies die...hard to be a tenderheart and a trapper at the same time.
