Saving the Berries

I bought some bird netting to put over our raspberry bushes.  I have heard some reports of birds getting caught in them.  I really hope that doesn't happen.  I also only partially covered the bush since it is so huge (well over 7' tall x 5' deep x 20' long).  I'll have to keep an eye on it.  But since we only got about two berries last year, it is worth a try.  If it doesn't work, I'm whacking down the bushes and planting something more tame.

Raccoon Babies

Spotted today in the back yard then later on the front porch.

We don't usually see them during the day, but they look pretty happy and healthy, so I'm not too worried.
