Wildlife: Raccoon

This is not a pet, just a wandering visitor. I had made this little "Town Hall" for the squirrels to come and eat peanuts from, and one morning there was a raccoon up there helping himself to the buffet.

The Confused Cat (Salem, OR)

Recently, I had the opportunity to catch one of the local strays in a very big "which way did he go" moment! He was on the ground, and two squirrels caught his eyes. He watched them both for a bit, looking back and forth between the two trees.

He finally went up a tree to find one... but the crafty little critter was always out of sight and reach. You have to look hard to see the critter in the last photo (the cat is actually looking around to see it), but that silly thing was always where he looked right then the squirrel was left or visa verse.

It was hilarious to watch and I thought you would all enjoy it. Sorry the quality isn't great I was literally shooting through my screen door window.

Tiny Vases for Flowers

This little bear vase was $.25 at a flea market. The least expensive one was $.10. I collect small vases to share flowers from the garden with children to take home to mom or dad. I also use any containers I can find to start cuttings for anyone to take. I use empty yogurt, cottage cheese, and other food containers. I even use take out containers and have DD save her's as well. It takes so little to make a child smile and and want to come back often to the Path Garden. (One little boy calls it "The Forest", his dad told me.)
