The Squire and Mac did go to the movies this morning – Captain America: Civil War – which he said was quite good, in spite of the reviews. I think he just disregards the critics and listens to his friends. He joked when he got home that he and Mac are both in their 70s, and still enjoy comic books. He could have worse habits, Heaven knows.
He called from the theater to say he was on his way home, and I was just getting dressed when he got in. There seemed to be quite a few people in the restaurant with the same idea – take Mum out a day early and beat the rush. We had a really nice dinner and then wandered around the corner and topped off the tank with some frozen yogurt.
I was sitting at the computer about 3:00 when the raccoon wandered into view. We are fairly certain it’s a nursing female, as the animal is quite brazen about coming looking for food, but she does get out of the way post haste when either of us goes out to feed her cheap dog food, as opposed to letting her vacuum out the birdfeeders. The Squire took food out to the barn before we left, and I put extra food on the carport for her.
If she’s not nursing or pregnant, she’s just plain fat!
