Today I wanted to run to the thrift store right by our house to find a big water bowl and food tray for the raccoons. They had a big table with kitchen stuff on sale. I got these for 20 cents.

While I was looking around I saw a lady pick up this big glass fish. I walked over to her because I really wanted to see if that’s what it was. It was hand blown and amazing. She said that she didn’t have a place for it so she put it down. When I saw that it was only $5 I snatched it up.

It reminds me of my sea glass fish.

I also found this recipe notebook. I would much rather use written recipes instead of trying to get through those I find online with all the ads.

I can’t wait to start using this. For $1.50 you can’t beat it.

Jackson found this cute little Halloween cat. I googled it and it’s a vintage Avon cat. We just replaced the batteries and it started lighting up and changing colors. It was $2.

I am sitting on the patio writing this because I’m waiting for the raccoons to show up. Skunky already made his appearance and at all of the hotdogs off the tray. I put another one out and he ate half of it.

This is a picture of one of them from last night. I gave him some fish sticks and he loved them.

Here’s our sweet little skunk having dinner tonight.

I’m hoping the raccoons come before I have to head in to bed.

And now I’m wondering if skunks have bad eyesight because as I was sitting here he walked right by me and started eating the cat food. I guess he just knows who keeps him fed.

I just thought I heard the raccoons, but it was this beauty.

It’s animal kingdom around here and I’m loving it.
