An adolescent raccoon took refuge in my maple tree for the day. Tucked up among the branches, hiding her eyes, as if she was invisible to the world. Looking for her forever home and realizing this is only a temporary hiding place. Gone the next day to another refuge, maybe her new nest.

Porte Ponderings:

The first day of summer this year is ushered in with a full moon and a heat wave that has already lasted 5 days. At least the temperature was cool enough at the lake to permit the windows to be open last night.

I thought the cannons had stopped firing, but I was wrong. We just couldn’t hear them because of the air conditioning.

Porte Ponderings:

On our daily walk, Rickie and I spotted a raccoon on the rocks. The raccoon was running towards us, so I was a little nervous, but she ducked into a crevasse in the rocks before reaching us. Obviously she knew exactly what she was doing and where she was going.
