Ah, Nature.
There's nothing nicer than a shady, winding garden pathway through the woods, redolent of cedar chips, and soft and springy on the feet. Unfortunately, this time of year, raccoons come into the garden, drawn by mulberries, and while they're there, they like to pull water plants from the pond, and dig up all the bark chip pathways and bark mulched garden beds, looking for food. The paths become so dug up, they have to be waded through, more than walked on. I used to live trap and haul away some of the coons when they got too destructive, but I guess I've mellowed, and just try and let the critters be now... besides I finally decided that other people were probably dumping coons off in our woods faster than I was hauling them away. The picture shows a critter on one of the paths, but it's Sadie the cat.
