Been joking for months how much I missed the raccoon family that settled under our deck last summer.
Well, I got a little omen this morning, maybe a show of support from the local Procyonid Mafia.
Just after sunrise, heard a rustling too strong to be wind. After 5-10 minutes of squinting at shadows, I finally spotted them. Four total, a mom and three big healthy-lookin' kids. Crawled right out on branch by my window and we traded glances.
Rock on, cousins. If you can do it, so can I. ✊
@zebratron2084 Awww, awesome! Good to know the local family's still strong. :-)
