After Fridays nights blog we found a slight flaw in our new bird feeder.
I awoke to the sound of my poor cat Itchy frantically pounding on the inside of the living room window and evidently giving something a piece of his mind.
You see, we leave the porch light on so the cats can watch for any visiting animals and there's been many.
I walked over to Itchy's window and peered into the night, but couldn't see anything so I went back to bed. Not 10 minutes later he started back up with the ruckus and back to the window I went where, to my surprise, there was a jumbo raccoon in our new bird feeder,
so now Saturdays to do list suddenly included running to the hardware and renting a large live trap.
When picking up the trap I did receive some great information on what I should use to bait trap as well as a rash of crap about not just pulling out my 22 and shooting him.
Paper bowl with 1 broken egg, chocolate chips, peanut butter, black sunflower seeds, 1 unbroken egg and we had him in the trap by 10:30 Saturday night.
All loaded up for his road trip. He's lucky a karma conscious gun owning Buddhist spent the 8 bucks for the trap rental and gave him a nice home still in the Murmur Creek river valley.Today Pat had all day meetings in town and before leaving she asked if I would carve the pumpkin.
and here's what she got. There's a lot to be said for adult supervision.
