This is the story of a raccoon Heidi who came into my life one day last spring when she came down the fence and into my yard in daylight and more or less refused to leave. In the beginning, I was afraid of her, and I tried all manner of violent pretense to frighten her away. In time, however, she won a place in my heart. Last summer I helped her feed her babies, and she in turn let me enjoy watching the adorable little ones grow up before my eyes. All winter I waited for her returns. A month or so ago she arrived again, and is now quite visibly about to have a new family.

We are awaiting the delivery of this year's raccoon babies.
