I was out here putting the bird feeders
up, the um
the water gets on my feet or the ice and
then I go back in on that slick lenolium

Aren't they sweet? Well, Bobby's going
home.
I know. They're precious. It's a little
baby girl.
Yeah.
So, you know who we haven't seen this
year so far? She usually arrives
somewhere in November.
And that's Precious. That's the little
raccoon. Well, she's not little. Um,
she's the raccoon that's about as broad
as that picnic table there. And she
usually comes in November and tops off
her little fat stores
um here and then she goes off. But she
only comes in November and she stays for
like a month and she eats and then
that's about it.
Hadn't seen her yet.
So she may have moved on. You never
know. But it's only what the first week
of November. So
yeah, they're just a babies. Yes, they
are. You're just a baby.
I got the mister back there behind the
door. It's too cold out here for him.
It's 30
It's 31 or 32 here right now.
Hey Lucy
got all kinds of dry food.
Y'all ready to eat? Come on.
Come on, baby.
I'm surprised they're out because it's
right at freezing.
So,
they must have been hungry
and it's not raining and they must know
that we're getting we're going to be
getting some real heavy rains tomorrow.
All the snow that's in the Ontario and
Quebec right now and that's in the uh
northern part of the United States, it's
coming, it's going to sweep it and come
up here, but it's going to come here as
rain
starting tomorrow through Wednesday.
And uh we're going to be getting wind
with it also.
We're going to be getting a lot a lot of
rain. So, hey, be nice. There's plenty
of food for everybody.
There's some down there by the woods.
They're just not going to come up here.
It's because their little bodies have
slowed down already for the winter. And
I'm sure they're in fear of getting
caught out away from their dens.
And hey, hey, hey, hey, be nice.
and maybe um
getting harmed. So, that's probably why.
All right, guys. Mommy's going to go in.
It's cold. And y'all got plenty of
cookies, Cheerios,
dry food. Y'all got plenty to eat. And I
will We're going to move the bench over
there tomorrow. And I'll see y'all
