Native to North America

Raccoon. They are pesky mammals even though they might look cute. Rummaging through garbage cans is their specialty. They can carry disease. Rabies. Raccoons are immortalized in cartoons and song.

My grandson Jack sent me this photo he took Saturday night. Raccoon in a tree

I thought of two raccoons in my house. A painted rock and a stuffed animal one.

I don’t think I’m a raccoon fan but I like these two

The bottom says C.Londot. I found a rabbit on eBay by the same artist. Bought at a craft fair decades ago.

And click if you want to see how many fictional raccoons you can identify

I like to sort the LEGO pieces by color and then by shapes. It’s relaxing. Having the colors and shapes sorted makes it easier to find the required pieces. I like to think I’m being helpful to my grandson. He’s really good at putting the creations together.

Charlie Pointed This Out To Me

We were in the library parking garage in downtown Columbus. He’s the one who saw this and pointed to it and I took the photo. Good find, Charlie!

Fire Truck Tuesday Afternoon

We had just gone to see the rabbits who live a few blocks over. Fed them some clover and dandelion leaves. As we walked back home, Charlie saw the fire truck down the street and watched as it drove by. Waved to the firefighters as they passed. They waved back. It sure was a looong truck. A little excitement in the neighborhood on Tuesday afternoon.
