I got to see her in person last night and I think she’s due in like 3 weeks.

In fact, I think she will have her litter Easter Weekend. That means, if she so choices, we will all see them like June 7 (my birthday)

If this plays out, do you know how special this deal is?

This will be our 4th generation of watching the same raccoon family.

Actually it’s 5 Generations, I just didn’t know flowers mother that well. Actually, I didn’t even really know I was looking at the same raccoon every night back then. I was not as observant.

So we start with the First i really recognized and she was Flower, she had Blossom who had Buttercup, Rose and Patunia. (By the way all three were on my porch this week) Rose and Petunia came from far away dens just to commun with Buttercup at my water hole.

They chatted. (Check out the footage earlier in the week). I liked to think that they discussed this issues of raising kits. As I bet they are all carrying and it just So sweet, as I pray for special moments just like this. And God honors my silly little prayers.

Should we go with Easter flower names for Blossom’s litter this time? Like Blue Bonnet or Lily? What other flower names are associated with Easter time?

If this happens and I’m allowed to see? … I will cry.

Happy Monday everyone. After Ellie Figueroa kicks my big ass into shape at the gym I get to make a butterfly for Anne Locke and paint on Susanne Taylor Mathis, ES Wedding Venue sign. Fun!

Starting Friday March 12 thru Sunday from 1 pm to 4 pm

204 Porr Drive Ruidoso

In my dreams …

The Bird is looking better. This painting is In progress. In my youth I would have had a cig and a cocktail right about now. My reward instead, a deep breath. Not the same … Lol

Who wants some yard art? I love going into a fantastic world filled with your thoughts and ideas. Message me. Thank you Diane Butcher-Brown for wanting these too. This is for a club here in Ruidoso. It’s going to look amazing on their merchandise that I get to design when they are ready (after stupid Covid is over)

Buttercup mated we believe feb 2.

She’s been mia for two days other than captured on front camera where a boy was following her back to her den.

I saw her in person tonight.
She’s looking good, guys … seemed calm.

If I’m right. We will have a litter by April 5 which means I get to see them like June 5 if Buttercup wishes.

Ok so please Pray for our girl. She’s got three injuries that she has recovered from.

Two on her left hip she got as a baby when her mother Blossom got killed. One on the other hip. And tonight her tail looks a little ruff.

The wild is so wild here. She’s free, which is more than most humans can say, but she needs our prayers.

Our Buttercup was her mother’s favorite. Her mother hugged her close up under her arm, so unlike Rose her sister, Buttercup is very WILD … she knows me with great caution just like mama taught her.

I wish she could survive to see her grandkids. We’ve come this far, right? … but that’s God’s business … as He knows every raccoon and every hair on your head he has numbered.

I love her. Happy pregnancy girl. Day 2 … 61 more to go.
