Lots of tomatoes of all sizes here. FANG gathers them before
they get too ripe; so we have some coming along all the
time. - Funny. FANG brought in a pretty little hinged
shell that a raccoon had cracked open & ate the meat from
it. The raccoon left the shell in the garden; evidently was
trying to pay us something for what ever bit of food he
ate from the garden. - We had another raccoon to get caught
in a trap and died from the heat because FANG hadn’t been
out to the garden for a few days. Poor little raccoon. It
had to be a terrible death and I shamed FANG for not seeing
to his trap. I didn’t know he had set the trap. The little
raccoon that left the pretty shell for us had evidently
come up after FANG found the dead one in the trap. - I
hated that so bad! He is going to have to take a different
sort of attitude to things or he and I are going to just
operate in separate lives. (After over 52 yrs.; we do
anyway. I don’t put up with foolishness much any more.)
IF FANG had just told me that the trap was there and set &
asked me to check it - I would have!! I’m just not able to
navigate much in the heat any more like I used to. I’m
old. :o(
I understand what you mean about the death of the coon. Hubby always asks me to make sure and remind him to check the traps, just in case.
Lately, he has just been shooting the squirrels though, so no traps.
I do understand the attitude. Been married 51 years myself. It’s like having a set of nice old shoes most of the time - comfortable, but patience runs out if the toes start to be pinched. LOL
