OMG! Is it ever hot and humid here in Toronto right now! I think we hit a real feel of 46 Celcius with the humidex. We are doing our best to stay cool and hydrated while still trying to enjoy the backyard. As usual we do what we can for our furry and feathered neighbours by keeping basins and baths full of fresh water for them to enjoy. One basin is quite deep, which the raccoons love, and I have a wood board wedged inside, just in case a smaller animal or bird happens to get in there and cannot get out. Fresh water is far more difficult for any animal to find right now than food. This is something to think about wherever you are and if you have wildlife around your home. Here are a couple of photos from the new raccoon family enjoying the one bath basin.
This is the new mother that we are seeing lately.
Here are 3 of her 5 young. They are adorable! But what baby raccoon, or any other animal isn't?
It's a joy having them here in the evenings. Unfortunately with my shift I only see them at this time on Saturdays and Sundays. I must take the time to enjoy them as they grow up very fast.
Okay, I am beat. Even with doing not a whole lot, this weather wipes me out. I am dreading going to work this week as we do not have a/c in the warehouse.
Thanks for stopping in. Keep cool!
