miscellaneous monday at the whimsey project! our day to share all the stuff we don't share the rest of the week. bring on the miscellaneous; share yours today!
there are two raccoon mamas running around the farm with kits! one is a young mama with two babies. the other mama has five! for awhile we didn't realize it was two separate mamas and their kits. we kept seeing what we thought was the same family! one day the mama with the five kits ran across the back of the house. not too much later a mama with two kits followed the same route! i recently read that raccoon babies stay in the nest until they are two months old. that's why we have seen the mama(s) well before we seen the kits with the mamas. they are so cute. they have been around the farm for so long that they and the cats don't bother each other; they regard one another from afar. and they all share very politely as the cat food is, of course, what draws the raccoons near the house. and this is just the raccoon entertainment!
We have a pair of quail who come to eat at the Wee Acres Buffet. They live under the pine trees. This is very unusual for this part of the country. We named them Bob and Bettie. Along with Herb Bird and Fran Cardinals, it is a birdie circus!
ReplyDeleteexcellent. the whimsey project highly approves of any birdie circus! maybe your quail hang out under the pine trees because of the nearby buffet!
