Raccoons in love?

Aw, don’t they make a cute couple?

raccoons in love

I don’t know if this is just a hug, play or something else (maybe peekaboo since one has it’s paws over the others eyes?).

I certainly hope that they aren’t getting ready to make more raccoon babies!

Now that the weather has warmed up here in Toronto (the snows actually melting and it’s been raining a LOT) we’ve been seeing raccoons almost daily! One seems to like our driveway. I guess I’ll have to walk the dog in the driveway a few times during the day to get her scent there in the hopes that it will scare the raccoon away.

If it’s warmer in your area, have you been seeing more wildlife lately?






Brilliant Black-eyed Susans

Black eyed susans

The Black-Eyed Susans are still blooming quite happily in my garden. They’ll probably be one of the last flowers to stop blooming.

I love their brilliant yellow color.

The clump in the photograph is approximately two and a half feet wide and stands about two and a half feet tall. It would be even larger if I’d let it, but I had to pull out some of the new growth that was beginning to interfere with other plants.

They’d take over the garden if I’d let them!

It’s going to be very cold tonight (7 Celsius or 44 F). I hope we don’t get a frost!
