Eye Spy with My Little Eye...

...a sweet family of raccoons. I have driven by this tree for years. It took my taking a right and using this little side street before I ever noticed that someone painted a furry family into the knot of the oak. The corner that it lives on had old single wide trailers on it. All but the remains of this trailer are gone. The tree remains with a ribbon of bright orange tape to designate it as off limits to the bulldozer, or so I hope. Our charming town, slow to grow, has been discovered by the developers and many things changing...not all progress is good.
I did a little shopping and will share my treasures with you tomorrow. Tonight the temperature is threatening to dip into the 20’s, disastrous to our plants. The most sensitive are all covered by sheets. Our fireplace is blazing and I’m listening to the boy’s wheel and deal around the Monopoly board. I am heading back to the love seat in front of the fire to knit on the Lenten Rose.
