Little Rascals

These four furry raccoons are why we have been bringing in the bird feeders at night.   I suspect they are siblings from this past summer.  They are very resourceful and should survive the winter well!

Forgive the blurry and foggy photos.  The first three were taken in the dark through the double pane glass of the kitchen window.   When I went outdoors to try to get a clearer view, they would scamper away, but not too far..... as in the last photo.

And notice that the deck railing is wrapped with holiday lights already.   My husband has learned to do this fun chore before the weather gets too cold!
