Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
|
|
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
|
|
|
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

I repeat, ewww...
I wonder if the berries had fermented a little... could have been funny watching a drunk raccoon stagger around. There was a tree across the street from our house when I was growing up, that produced berries of some kind. In the fall the birds would eat the berries that fell on the ground, and sometimes get a little too much... they'd flop around on the ground, unable to fly until they sobered up.

I'm a farm gal, I'm not squeamish :~) But I didn't really pick it up with my fingers... after Gidget pointed it out and rolled in it, I scooped it up with a little pail :~)

The raccoons also have a habit of leaving them in obvious locations like on logs or in the middle of a path; some say it's a territorial marker. There was a log across a creek up on a project site we regularly used to get to the wetlands area on the other side. Big piles of raccoon poop on both ends so the marker theory may have some real basis. Scats are actually quite interesting from an ecology point of view. Good markers for diet.

If there's some sort of detector that looks for large packages filled with tightly packed organic matter coming out of Florida, we're in trouble ;~)

I wouldn't have known those were from a racoon...would have said the animal was a vegetarian, though, which racoons are not, I think they eat most anything.
Meanwhile, I've been seeing some droppings around a dock in the Keys that I can't identify. I'd say they were from otters, but am pretty sure there aren't any of those for miles, so I'm now guessing iguanas, which I do see nearby. 'Course, racoon isn't out of the question either.
Unfortunately, I don't have an image to post, in case one of us knows the answer.

Too bad you don't have a picture, since today is "Identify the poop" day in the HH. :~) Well, I happen to have seen a lot of otter poop on our dock in summer. It's a little like a small dog's but with lots of small bits of shell and bone in it. breaks up easy as it dries out in the sun, not cohesive at all.
We went walking out there again this afternoon and we did see coyote poop. It was all hair.

I Googled "iguana droppings," but couldn't find an image. Plenty of mention, such as the fact that you sometimes see blood in it, and that it carries salmonella, fwiw, but no image.
