For the second time in a week, there have been three young raccoons walking on the read wall of our courtyard villa. They're cute as a button, but isn't it uncommon to see them during the day? There is certainly nothing in the garden to attract them.

I thought you were going to give a recipe for them. or a restaurant that is cooking them!

I thought a new restaurant called Racoons opened here in TV land.

Raccoons are cute......for two seconds. You don’t want them in your neighborhood, attic or garbage. Work at getting rid of them, they belong in a forest not in a populated area. BTW, if you are unaware, don’t corner them. They can be pretty vicious.

All true, and good advice for all wild animals, no matter how cute. Anything we do to encourage them to not be afraid of us or get food from us will harm them in the long run. Enjoy them all you want at a distance, but keep them away from your home, attic, and garbage.

Oh, and we are the ones that moved into their home range, ie. they were here first - but, that is beside the point.
