Wild Life Central

April seems to be wildlife month here on Cornelius Drive! Ducks, moles, raccoons, (and let's not forget the deer) are all alive and well in our back yard, front yard and even the attic!

 Yes! The attic! The other evening I was sitting quietly in the kitchen and heard the pitter patter of something "above". Since the birds had gone to bed and the sound was too heavy for a squirrel, I figured it must be a raccoon. One had gotten up there years ago but there had been no sign of one since. This morning hubby also heard the sounds of life over head!

Now that the snow is starting to disappear and expose the much longed for sight of grass, we've noticed an unusual sight on the lawn. Mounds of dirt are piled everywhere! My "farm boy" husband immediately identified the sight as the work of moles. Great!

They say that April showers bring May flowers, but so far they've only brought ducks! The cute couple in the photo above don't seem to be too worried about on coming traffic. We may as well put up a sign that says "Wildlife Sanctuary"!

So, Mr Raccoon ..... this is for you! Ducks on the road, and moles on the grass are one thing, but you, my friend are not welcome! I hope to be seeing your cute little bandit face tomorrow ..... BEHIND BARS!
