So the other night we were having a late dinner on the patio overlooking the back garden. It was such a beautiful evening, and even though it was dark, you could still see the vibrant green lettuces and purple salvias.
Suddenly there was a crunching sound, a munch, munch ... no, it wasn't the human diners. We had visitors - two huge raccoons, and they were digging in the mulch I'd so carefully laid the week before.
Several minutes of shooing and yelling ensued, but the critters were unfazed. They "hid" behind a tree, presumably to wait us out. That's exactly what happened. We went to bed and they went back to their late-night buffet!
