This is the ongoing story of Heidi and friends, raccoons and the occasional opossum who frequent my backyard wildlife buffet.

It is once again the end of an era, or at least another season. The kits, most of whom LOVE vanilla sandwich cookies, BTW, are getting older now. I'd say they are probably roughly equal to tweens in human terms, able to do some things on their own but still kids. Soon the kits will be foraging more and more on their own, the groups metabolic needs will decrease as the weather cools, and the buffet will begin shutting down for the season. But for now, things are still in full swing. The kits come over the fence each afternoon and their eyes light up as they run to me for cookies in a manner not at all unlike a bunch of human children. It is for now perhaps the very best part of the season as I am daily surrounded by a large group of sweet, well behaved, excited, happy kits each of whom wants a cookie. It doesn't get much better than that. : )

The photo below shows one of the kits enjoying a vanilla sandwich cookie, the afternoon treat of champions (or at least of happy kits).
