Raccoon

The weather has warmed up. Audrey noticed this raccoon hanging around our sap buckets this afternoon.  She tried chasing it away by banging a spoon in a pan.  It only ran up our maple tree and then took a nap.  It is still enjoying its cozy napping space.

While it slept, we made sure all the lids were tight on the sap buckets and then put a heavy brick on each one.  We do not want a nosy raccoon to ruin the sap we collected!
