I think we may have had another raccoon in the catch & release trap last night. I'll have to ask Andy when he gets up - the grass was all ripped up underneath but the trap was empty so he probably let it out in the wee hours of the morning.

Cute little face..!
That is just a pic from the internet - they look cute but can be quite vicious, plus you need to wash your hands after handling the trap. We are not trapping them on purpose - we just want the squirrels so we can relocate them to the park.

We have caught one grey squirrel and 11 red ones!

This could be interesting if your daughter is interested in Science and Astronomy and a Girl Scout.

I just ran errands and went and had Ihop for lunch all by my lonesome. I have a gift card that was given to me. It was for 25 dollars. I've used 15 of it. So I told the girl, there's only 10 on this card so I will owe you. She comes back and said, no, you had 25 on the card. I told her that was wrong, that the card was only worth 25 and I had used 15 already. She went and had a pow wow and came back, nope, I had 25 on the card. I asked the giver how much originally was put on it and she said 25. I tried. I used it, I didn't have 25. But I wasn't going to argue with them. I just figured the universe wanted me to have that 2x2x2.

Also, you know how sometimes, people ahead of you will pay for your Starbucks in the drive-thru? I had a very young man in a very nice car buy my coffee. I pulled up and the guy said, he just paid for your coffee. Now, I've had this happen to me a lot. I'm not sure why, but I've been lucky that way. Anyway, it made me want to cry. Any kindness towards me these days makes me cry.

Maybe I reminded him of his grandma. But it sure made me feel nice.

Perhaps it's your attire. :)

Or maybe it was because you deserve it after all the kind things you do for others. :love:
