i couldn’t resist taking a few (dozen) more photos despite my messed-up camera.  i put out some bread pieces and mr. raccoon seemed to like them a lot, but they were a little hard and he had to throw his head back to chomp on them.

he was so close,  i could see his little raccoon teeth.  damn, i wish i had that new camera already.  but maybe my expectations for it are too high…

i like the reflection of the lamp here because it kind of looks like he’s inside.

mollie, crazed, ran out into the back yard and mr. r. turned to look at her.

…but then he was back to his eating.  i have to figure out a way to give him a hot meal, something more tasty than stale bread pieces.  hmm, i do have some chicken pot pie in the freezer…since he enjoyed the vegetable pot pie, i’m sure the chicken pie would be a treat.

this afternoon kevin started putting down the new bathroom floor.  it’s going to look great and i’m excited about (someday) getting the bathroom back.

here he is in his groovy jeans.  he wore these for a party where he dressed like the 60’s, and he wore them to spread some quick-drying cement kind of stuff where the sink will be.

since they’re now covered with different kinds of stuff from different projects, i guess that means he won’t be wearing them for a costume anytime soon.  too bad, because with the big blonde wig he looks like a groovy hippie.

ok then,

grace.
