It was hot here today 100 degrees, and so it's hot in my house. I was having trouble sleeping so I went out to sit on my deck in the cool dark. So I sat and swung for a while then got sleepy and got up to go back in the house...but therein lied the trouble. Between me and my back door were 5... count them FIVE raccoons!!! The biggest one about 40 pounds...then a couple of teenagers and another one. But my dilemma was I could go out into my back yard in the total dark which is where they wanted to go and I couldn't get to my back door. I didn't want to go into my yard. In the dark, the very dark. We all froze...then I said something stupid...like ok beast get outa here...and the big one stood on his/her back feet and started growling at me! Musta stood 3 feet tall! I neglected to say I was naked...well it was hot and my deck is very private except for the raccoon family. Holy crap...what was I supposed to do? So I stepped out into the dim light from the door so the 'coons could fully see me and again said something brave like scat!...I thought my very presence would scare them, nope, so then I thought my old lady nekkedness would scare them, well that kinda did. But the big one stood up bigger and growled louder. So I backed up as far as I could and I climbed up on the rail of my deck and kind of in the limbs of the phooney plum tree...And she took her family passed me and I swear she had her hand over the eyes of the teenagers so they couldn't see my nakedness...
and now I can't sleep because of too much adrenaline...gosh what a thing to happen to an old person!
