As the weather gets cooler wild animals start looking for more food in order to fatten up for the cold weather ahead. Who knew that raccoons ate grubs? Grubs that apparently live under the lawn. After the dry summer our small back patch of grass was brown and not very attractive. Now that the raccoons have begun to dig it up it looks a lot worse. (Since I took this picture a few days ago the area dug up has become a lot bigger.)
Flowers for the table.
This is the weekend of our Canadian Thanksgiving. Tomorrow I'll be baking pumpkin pies!! Yum.
I'll be back in a day or two, GM
Thankfully we dont get racoons here!
ReplyDeletehappy Thanksgiving! I love fall so much even the rainy days we are getting now. Good to know about the racoon we just caught one passing on our game camera.

I'm jealous of those good looking tomatoes. Surprised that you still have any this late in the year.
ReplyDeleteYour house must be smelling pretty wonderful these days! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteWow who know raccoons could do that. They sure made a mess out of your yard.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Love the last one. Thanks and giving. 🤎
ReplyDeleteWe had terrible lawn devastation from moles so eventually we began treating the grub infestation, and as long we control the grubs, the raccoons find other diggin's.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours up North!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and your family! I'm sorry about the raccoons and the devastation they're causing. We had the same sort of damage with moles at our house last year. It's one of the reasons I'm glad that we're in a condo with no yard care. Dennis worked so hard to have a gorgeous lawn. It was so nice and literally overnight the moles destroyed it. So disheartening.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!🍁🥧🦃
ReplyDeleteOur son says the smell of pumpkin pies make him think of “Grandma.” I save some scraps for the raccoons, but they never eat the tomatoes. Happy Thanksgiving! Mary @ Hilltop Post
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving weekend to you!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have raccoons here (thankfully) - they have certainly made a mess of your lawn!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Thanksgiving weekend :) xx
Happy Thanksgiving! I didn't know that raccoons would dig for grubs. I enjoyed your post about the Pony Soldier. My husband watches nothing but old westerns...maybe we will get to see it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Canadian style!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving.. a bit late. I did not know about raccoons and grubs, either.
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of moles here turning the lawn upside down!
ReplyDeleteHappy thanksgiving and happy baking!
We have lots of raccoons but I guess they get enough to eat as I have never seen them digging in the ground. They have pulled plants out of the ponds and the pond fountain as well as the actual pump! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration.
