| Covering their noses... |
The wild life here on Salt Spring Island abounds. Sometimes I hear strange noises in the night. I had not been under the house for a couple of years and I had to check on things. Lo, a disaster! The insulation was pulled down and arranged into two big piles. Piles? It looked like dead bodies. Coons. A friend of mine is a biologist. I asked him why the raccoons did that.
"Trying to stay warm," he said. Seemed logical.
"What about their noses? Doesn't the insulation hurt their noses?"
"They just cover them with their little paws."
Alrighty then. What a mess they have left. Glad they are warm. Now what am I going to do?
