It's a Happy Mother's Day for Maude and her brood. The kids seem so happy just hanging out with their Mommy.This was inspired by a late night visit I had not long ago. We had dubbed our visiting raccoon Maude because she seemed so independent. We didn't see her for a while and wondered what happened to her. Then, one night I heard a noise on the deck. I flipped on the outside lights I found out why Maude had been missing in action. 3 tiny striped tails waddled their way off the deck and across the back yard back into the woods. She was busy becoming a mother. You have to love nature. :-)
So, Happy Mother's Day to all you Mommies out there!

I'm glad Maude is no longer MIA - this is a wonderful canvas. Austin is a bit infested with her relatives - and also deer.
When I was growing up on Lake Austin,(TX) I found a deserted baby raccoon. Of course I had to keep him. Ricky got to be a real family pet. We finally let "him" go. Later we saw him with 2 young ones following behind. Our he turned out to be a she!
What a cute story. Initially we had 3 that came around, Elmo, Rick and Maude. One night we had lobsters for dinner. Naturally the carcasses were immediately put out in the trash. The next morning when I left for work I saw 4 lobster bodies, all completely empty, lined up in the back yard. I guess we weren't the only ones having the celebratory dinner that night. :-)
