Well I'm sorry I haven't been posting lately. It's not that things haven't been going on, it's just that I haven't felt like posting about them! We're all allowed a little break. Anyway, this little happening was pretty funny so it convinced me to make a post! First of all let me explain that our desk is
not usually this messy ... but we tore apart our kitchen a little while ago and haven't found a place for all the trash yet (can't wait for dumpster day!). Anyway, so last night we had a bag of trash on our back deck waiting to be taken out ... with a chicken carcass inside. Joe and I were on the couch watching a scary show (first season of 24 on DVD ... thanks Paul!) when I heard something on the deck. It was this little guy:
A racoon found our leftover chicken! It was sooo funny to watch him dig through the trash to get to it. We turned all the lights on and were taking pictures and all kinds of things and he didn't care one bit, he just wanted that meat.
When he got it out of the bag, he then had to get it through the planks of the deck, since the gate was locked. When he finally did it, I was so proud! I started CRACKING up. For some reason I just love watching animals like foxes and racoons be so foxy and racoonish - it gets me every time!
Well we might have to stop being lazy and put our trash in the garbage can under the deck instead of on the deck to wait for trash day ... cuz I think this little friend is going to be back. And although I don't mind sharing, I do not appreciate the mess left behind.
