Days of the Racoon Wars

This is night 2 of the Raccoon Wars and once again I am
awake around midnight trying to fight off the racoons from
raiding food and destroying bird feeders.  Last night after
being thwarted from bird feeders on front porch and on deck,
one came back and pulled down a pretty glass hummer
feeder, but it got caught under the railing, so it was saved.

Don't get me wrong.  I am scared of raccoons.  They carry
rabies--and I dont need to know anymore than that.  And
I'm not supposed to go out on the porch at all--especially
since I fell, but I had an aluminum ball bat that made a really
loud noise when I hit it over the wooden deck.  So they
thought I was big and brave--not so, just bluffing and trying
to protect my food, I mean the bird's food.

It has rained all day here.  Projects halted while the weather
has its way with us.

All for now

Kate
