Nice article, Sharon! Very few animals really bother me much. But feral hogs and armadillos do. Oh, and about raccoons...if I were to plant corn, they'd destroy the plants after the ears appear. Ask me how I know. Also peaches...they love them and some years we don't even get one peach! I haven't tried growing watermelon yet, but I know that any leftover pieces of watermelon that's put outside will disappear quickly. I'm still trying to figure out how to keep them from stealing the suet from the suet holders. Their latest trick was to break the chain and even though they couldn't open up the suet holder (my newly bought thingamajig was in place), once they had it on the ground, they managed to get it all.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
