I'm sure I shall pay for my sins today. I shall have to try watermelon with my little beasties this summer! Having a raccoon (and realistically probably more than one...) live in one's attic, with access to one's kitchen, is far and away a state of existence MORE CRAZY than this resident Crazy Raccoon Lady EVER wants to experience!!! Eric should thank his lucky stars that he married such a rational and stable individual. Thank you for that reminder that everything is relative! ID: 1362527 ·

Today, I went over again for a few hours to help de-thatch her lawn. We have had a very late start to spring here, but today was glorious. About 74f, nothing but sun, and a very mild breeze. I was driving the lawn tractor towing the de-thatcher and came around the back corner of the house. She was waving at me to stop the tractor. I thought something was amiss.... She said 'you have to come listen to this'. There are some huge pine trees on a berm surrounding her back yard. 20-30 of them. And they sounded just like a bowl of rice crispies. Only LOUDER. Just short of small firecrackers. We figured that with the first burst of warm weather, the sap was flowing like mad, and the pine cones on the trees were bursting open. They continued doing it all afternoon. Never heard anything like it before. My neighbor on the west side has 4 large pines along our fence, and I've heard the pine cones popping open a time or two. It is a bit noisy, even with only a few cones. Was 94F here today - kitties spent most of the time under the mulberry trees... Well, you may well imagine then the noise that all of Lori's were making..... At least it kept us safe from the giant kiwi birds. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

I don't think so... My kitties do that all the time when they lay down next to me. It's like they want their feet to be on you, not really pushing themselves away.
