Did you know a baby raccoon covers its eyes when it’s scared? Yep. I learned that watching Billy The Exterminator last week. He rescued a family and one of the babies covered its eyes just like a scared kid. Cutest thing ever. I was thinking about that baby raccoon as I wrote this post. The … Read the rest →
This week has been an odyssey of emotion. First I dealt with the loss of a close friend from high school’s mother, a lady that had a major influence on me growing up.
