What I've been up to

This is my new hobby. I love it. These pieces are for the Craft and Bake Sale happening at Wildlife on December 6, from 9 am until 2. If you live nearby, be sure to come see us. This is the 16th Annual Sale and all proceeds go to the Center. There are other crafts, too, all donated by volunteers and members. Usually lots of crochet/knit items, holiday items, pet treats, baked and canned goods, lots of good stuff. Park admission is $3 for adults, $1 for kids.

Effects of the Storm

See this big Tree? See the tiny little red arrow? Well, we lost a couple of little branches from somewhere around the arrow. This was last Sunday, before Wildlife, so I got to work.
And, of course I forgot the before pictures.

Turns out, this is a really big tree.

And the truck was full. But the creatures will appreciate it.

This is a guilty dog:

Hubby called while I was out running errands today. He had been in the garden for collards and noticed what he first thought was a snake. Upon further inspection, discovered that it was a tail. And there was fur attached to the tail. Then the fur disappeared into the dirt.

Apparently, Elmo caught another opossum, dug a pretty big hole and buried him. We're not sure if he met his end with Elmo, or if he was playing possum and Elmo buried him alive. Either way, it is strange that only the tail is left showing. Maybe it is so he can find it later? Or maybe it's because he couldn't get the tail buried for the twitching.

At least we have some fertilizer.

Are you kidding me?

So, almost 11 o'clock last night I took Charlie out one last time before bed. Elmo is running around the yard like crazy, and I figure he's chasing one of the kittens. A few minutes later, he comes over to the fence with what looks like a rat tail hanging out of his mouth.



I could only wish. Instead, he has this little creature....



I took him to Wildlife with me just to get him checked out. Turns out, he's a little thin, but I may be able to release him next weekend.
