truth in advertising




Maybe I am a rarity, but I love raccoons (except the one who wandered across our yard one summer, looking like he was frothing at the mouth).

Aren't they funny and intelligent?  Yesterday was a very racoon-y day.  I got my favorite sun butter and ginger tea at the store, was working on drawing a new raccoon figure AND saw a dead raccoon down the road, flattened…dang.  ANYWAY, pandas are raccoon cousins, I have heard, but I don't live near pandas….

IN OTHER news, I like to get good boxes for pottery to hold my groceries at the coop.  (my shipping philosophy = SCROUNGE).  I don't eat the stuff from this bakery, but Spike and I are fond of their boxes, as you can see….. have a great Tuesday!

Oh my, sun butter sounds so good! How have I never run into it? Must find some. Love the picture on the box of Spike...it was meant to be!

scrounging and pottery seem to go hand in hand! never throw out a good box - that's my motto.

I'm not too fond of raccoons, but I love that box! And it's Spike-tested so you know it's a good box.

We are big cat box people here. I have only 2 cats but currently 3 boxes in the family room and 2 in the living room/studio. :) I think raccoons are super cute! Love their little fingers.

I totally support you in your Raccoon Love, and admit that I also harbor quite a fondness for them. I admire their deviousness and insatiable curiosity!
