Sunday, July 10th, 2011<\/p>\n

6:15 a.m.<\/p>\n

i was lying there in bed minding my own business, sleeping as well as could be expected considering that kevin and the animals were up and making a little bit of noise.<\/p>\n

then, mollie started BARKING LIKE CRAZY.<\/p>\n

oh boy, something in the yard.\u00a0 i wish she’d shut up.<\/p>\n

but she kept barking, kevin kept trying to get her to stop, but then he called out, “there are baby raccoons in the palm tree!”<\/p>\n

wow.\u00a0 “take pictures!” i yelled.\u00a0 i don’t think he heard me.\u00a0 TAKE PICTURES!\u00a0 but with all the fans going, it’s not so easy to hear, so i staggered out of bed and into the living room.<\/p>\n

OH MY GOD THEY ARE THE CUTEST THINGS EVER.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

cutest.\u00a0 things.\u00a0 ever.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

here’s the garbage can full of bird food.\u00a0 a couple of days ago, somebody chewed a big hole in the top of the can, then they made an even bigger hole.\u00a0 somehow the raccoons had gotten the entire lid off the can.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

kevin went out to investigate, wearing his welding gloves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

OH MY GOD EVEN MORE CUTE!\u00a0 well, at least AS cute.\u00a0 i especially like it that the baby raccoon on the left is sleeping peacefully, after gorging himself all night. the center raccoon, nose buried in the can, is clearly STILL VERY HUNGRY.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

kevin carried the garbage can off the porch and down into the grass, and coaxed them out.\u00a0 my favorite part of this video is where there’s a flurry of seeds spewing out of the can before the little raccoon BURSTS out of it.\u00a0 i also show a little of the destruction of the flowers on the deck – they dug up a couple of them, plus they knockedf over our big solar gazing ball, which was knocked over last year by raccoons.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

cutest.\u00a0 ever.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

meanwhile, things are here are otherwise calm.\u00a0 this morning a squirrel keeps coming up to the window and peering in, i think because kevin hasn’t been putting any more bird food on top of the grill on the deck.\u00a0 the squirrel is PISSED OFF.\u00a0 here he comes again.<\/p>\n

mollie is sleeping on the couch beside me, and les paul is asleep on the coffee table.\u00a0 les is now a free-range kitty, inside, anyway.\u00a0 we’re somehow going to have to make him be an inside kitty, because i’m pretty sure he’d head for the hills if given the chance.\u00a0 he’s very content at the moment.<\/p>\n

ok then,<\/p>\n
