Early morning visitors.
I'm sitting here at the computer with the window open. I can hear rustling and chittering and the occasional squeal from the tree just outside.
When it first started up about twenty minutes ago, I thought it might be opossums (really hoping it wasn't rats). I tried looking with a flashlight, but the blinds are down and I couldn't really see properly through the slats. I didn't want to scare them off by pulling the blinds up, so I went outside. (No, Missy, you are not coming out.)
When I shone the light up into the tree, two bright pairs of eyes looked back. Raccoons! One of them scampered higher, the other down the tree and over the fence.
I really do need to get a working flash for my camera.
