Last night Maja and I were drinking wine on the balcony around 10 or 11 and we saw SIX(!!!) raccoons prowling around in the front yard!!!!
A car went by and they all scampered halfway up the tree trunk, ALL SIX OF THEM, and froze there like teacup handles hanging off the bark (poetic image courtesy of Maja).
It was freaking hilarious.
Once they felt it was safe, they disappeared in the direction of the garbage shed. This is how I envision they ended up at the end of the night...
Happy Feasting Raccoons!
Work up those love handles for cuddling on cool summer nights. :)
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteADORABLE!!!!!!!!!
my aunt used to have raccoons at night that would come and eat her avocados. they'd bring the fruit up the roof and have a midnight feast and when they were done, they'd throw the seeds happily off the roof, making an ENORMOUS racket. they were probably laughing too.
Those raccoons had good taste!
ReplyDeleteB just texted me the cutest message in response to telling him about these raccoons.

(He is currently away in Calgary for a month. He is referring to the month I was away visiting my folks in Ottawa. He saw a mother and baby raccoon on the roof outside our kitchen window.)
