This was taken about eight minutes ago, looking out the sliding glass door onto my back patio. We had a gap of several months there with no raccoons turning up in my yard to poach on the cat food I leave out for local strays. I thought they were gone for good…but this last week, they began showing their masked faces…and last night, I saw one that was larger than either of these. Just in time for Trick-or-Treat.
