Hi friends,<br>
<br>
Well, we only have a week til the start of classes once again. It's
hard to believe the summer has passed so quickly. The temperature
tells me this summer's not going down without a fight, though. Last
Friday, after the storm knocked our AC out on Thurs. evening, it was so
hot in here, the little floating globes in my Galileo thermometer had
all passed out from the heat and sunk to the bottom of the
thermometer. It looks like one of them is finally back floating again.<br>
<br>
I went outside last night to look around a little, and when I shined my
flashlight over toward the automatic dog food feeder, I could see a big
raccoon sitting up and looking at me, then on a little closer look, I
could see 2 and sometimes 3 smaller sets of shiny eyes aimed my
direction. They didn't get startled and run off immediately, though.
They seemed to be keeping an eye on me and what I might be doing, while
sneaking handfuls of food out quietly to eat. I would've had a better
look at them but there was an obstruction or two in the way slightly,
so I'm planning on rearranging a few things tonight in order to get a
better view. I'm just glad they're content with raiding the dog food
feeder and are leaving the chickens alone. We'll get along fine if
they'll just hold to that.<br>
