I don’t know who the artist is, but I think this elephant is wonderful.

Lunch Bunch was fun yesterday. Kay and Bud were there, plus their neighbor, Cheryl. We had a good time. I reminded Kay about our gift exchange next Friday, but she acted as though we hadn’t already talked about it and agreed. Our waitress asked me as we left. I told her that I had reminded Kay and would remind Patty and Linda at the first of the week, but that I wasn’t sure of anything anymore…

I didn’t receive my wood burning tool protection stuff I ordered yesterday. Maybe today.

‘Something’ other than birds has been eating our birdseed lately. Last night we caught a possum inside the garage in our humane cage. My husband will take care of this later. This is one thing I’m happy I don’t have to do. We relocate raccoons, but not possums.

Women’s Health

Shout-Out to Marsha, MaryLou, and Bill who are all on the wrong side of Mother Nature’s temper this weekend. I hope you all come through the coming bad weather healthy and happy.

Shout-Out to Cathy, who has health issues she is handling with much more grace than I would. I wish you lots of good rest, feeling better, and good results.

Lewis Critter Relocation Service Hits a Snag

Share the Outdoors

We have caught and relocated 5 raccoons this year – so far. Last night we caught a possum. This is the first one we have caught in our humane trap.

We discussed relocating it, as we do the raccoons. My husband went out on the deck and the possum immediately had a FIT inside the cage – hissing, spitting, flipping around, etc. This is not something we want to ‘relocate’, when it was exhibiting worrisome signs. We do not want ANY chance of releasing a possibly rabid critter anywhere.  I’m sad when we have to kill a critter, but this one left us with no choice. Sad way to start the day, but now we don’t have to worry about him biting our animals (he is the same size as our elderly dog, Molly) or children who live in the valley behind us. This is something we have to deal with, living outside the town.
