Let's see--the weather was gorgeous, temperature-wise. I have the room AC on in my "office."

Now that there are hints of cooler weather I need to do some bush-sculpting. I like having the bushes along the driveway get taller and provide a bit more of a screen.


I haven't seen this year's raccoons nearly as frequently as just a while back.

And, they seem to be relying less on the dry cat food for supper.

Based on previous years, the number of diners at Chez Rowland will diminish as the various (almost) yearlings settle in to being grown-ups.

Come spring, the "regular" diners will be from one mother only.

My activities today? the usual stuff that makes up an IUD.
