My daughter and I hadn’t done one of our big grocery shopping trips since November 12th but we finally found time for a trip Tuesday. We couldn’t have picked a nicer day for it. It was sunny and around 60 degrees which is just about perfect for a major shopping day. We started out by…
Shiloh
We haven’t had a dog for about a year and a half. Our sweet Pyrenees, Duke, disappeared – we think someone shot him. Then Emily died and Iggy, the dog I rescued off the highway disappeared about the same time. For the first time in my life, I was dog-less. We could have gone out…
We got a little complacent
Have you been wondering about our Raccoon Witness Relocation Program? I don’t know if I shared the final count here or just on Facebook, but we relocated 14 raccoons. FOURTEEN! And then they seemed to get the hint that they were not welcome guests. In the past few weeks we haven’t had any in the…
And so it continues…
Our current count for David’s raccoon relocation hobby stands at eight, not counting the possums and one of our cats who got a little too curious. The live trap he had been using was on loan from a friend but since this may be an ongoing project, David bought his own the other day. I…

Raccoon Witness Protection Relocation Program
The Apple Tree Farm Raccoon Witness Protection Relocation Program is up and running. Jane Doe and her offspring Baby Doe is a little shy Relocation by dark of night John Doe was awaiting us this morning. Don’t bite the hand that just fed you. So, that means we’ve caught and relocated three raccoons. We know…
An ongoing saga
Operation “Raccoon Removal” has thus far been unsuccessful but the battle rages on. David borrowed a live trap which he set up on our back patio. I’m just not sure there will be room for a raccoon.
Houston, we have a problem.
I do believe we have a little problem here. Remember Rocky Raccoon? Well, I think we should have picked a more feminine name. And do you have any name suggestions for her two young’uns? More to the point, what do you do when these masked scallywags have watched the cats go in and out of…
Wild Kingdom
Anyone remember this?: My family used to watch this and The Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday night. Good memories. We live in the country and it is sometimes like living in our own “wild kingdom”. First there are the raccoons that I posted about the other night. And yes, I mean “raccoonS”, as in…
