Vernal Vision

Red Robin perched prettily high on a post
Singing a sweet song of Spring
All Winter long the pale garden ghosts
Await her return on the wing

Caged in a Beaver Catcher!

In order to catch the Ground Hog that was helping itself to our vegetable garden Olivia and I set a "Beaver Catcher" as she called it, and it worked! This critter now lives very far away from us. The previous night I caught a skunk in the trap! Luckily for me he was very cooperative and didn't spray me as I put the cage in my truck, drove him to a park and let him out.
