Turn up your volume for this short video. Noting is moving, but there is an interesting sound.
At first I thought I heard birds, but as the sound changed so did my idea about the animal/s above.
Many critters stop over on Sunnybook Farm. Some settle down to have a family. I pretty sure I know what critter belongs to this sound. It must be baby raccoons.
Of course, little raccoons have to have a big mama around. Chickens beware!

I haven’t seen any skunks yet, or smelled any, but eventually they will be venturing out again.
One time Bob and I were driving our cart about 100 yards from the house when Bob stomped on the brakes. A mother skunk and three babies were crossing the road.
We didn’t say a word, or make any sudden movements, not wanting to disturb the little parade before us.
What I did notice was how beautiful that mother skunk looked. The wide white stripe down her back looked like she had been to the beauty shop.
Today I’m reading a column from 1987. At the end I remember my mother and an experience she had with a skunk.
Warning! Keep an eye out for skunks. You don’t want to end up writing about a stinky confrontation.

Are you yearning for growing green things? If so, you might want to listen to this column about my March garden.
I hope you have a few plants in your home to lift your spirts. Artificial flowers might help too, especially if you happen to kill house plants.
Join me in looking forward to spring.

In this 1985 column I wrote about having a winter thaw in February.
It’s something we can dream about today as we freeze in extreme cold weather in Wisconsin.
The below-zero temps will fade…hopefully soon. Spring will arrive.
Just be patient.
And bundle up!
Because it’s COLD outside.
