About midnight I was out in the backyard having a smoke. Full moon and very cold but no snow. I glanced over at the cellar window and staring back at me were 2 racoons, 1 plain and 1 albino, which startled me. Of course in the cellar (not Cellar.org) is the
Urban Widlife Rescue that Dee runs. They had 4 'coons, a skunk and a prarie dog someone had dumped in a snowbank the week before Christmas.
I met another couple, for the first time, that have a
wildlife habitat. nice people with good intentions but rabid tree huggers.
I also met a woman named Nancy Skowyra, who is one of Dee's volunteers and a (fe)mailman. She's a bright, funny person with the gift of gab and an infectious smile. She had me laughing out loud...a lot.
Oh, I almost forgot bowl
s of homemade chocolate truffles. Some rolled in cocoa, some in confectioners sugar, some in nuts and some plain.
