ALL CREATURES GREAT, SMALL AND GREEN

While the critter-sightings seem delayed from last year, we now have spied another raccoon mama and her kidlets, and a smattering of skunks but no wee ones.

Everyone is ‘making nice’ with a modicum of caution being exercised.

This is the season when dahlias, datura, surprise lilies, morning glories and the magnificent tiger swallowtails have overtaken center stage.

Roscoe Stanley’s reinforcements continue to delight us as they grow and explore. And speaking of making nice, we are so blessed that our little cat crew, even though the kittens are sequestered in our office area until they are a bit more mature, have created a harmonious romper room!
