Ten minutes ago, I stepped out onto our rear deck for a smoke. Right next to our deck is a cherry tree. There was lot of rustling in the tree, so I took out the mini-Maglite which I usually carry and shone it up the tree, to discover a raccoon some ten or fifteen feet off the ground, selecting cherries and dropping them to the ground, presumably to eat them after climbing down again. Cheeky sod. Still, the cherries aren't particularly pleasing to the human palate, so she (I had ample opportunity to determine her sex, being underneath) is quite welcome to them. |
