ONE RACOON. TWO RACOON

 "This early piece of the morning is mine..."
                                             -Wallace Stegner (Walking to Safety)
 Racoons in early morning.
 Please don't eat the PumpkinWatermelonthingy that grows on the hill. It must look luscious to young racoons.
 Cordelia sees the racoons walk. From the safety of her fence.
 PumpkinWatermelonthingy breathes a sigh of relief.....
 One Racoon.....
 Two Racoon....
 In the early light of day.
 One Racoon....
 Two Racoon..
 A couple of Pumpkinwatermelonthingys shiver under their leaves.
  One Racoon..... 
 Two Racoon......
Digging for grubs. Digging for worms. Yawning as they walk.
 Simon squints his eyes in the sun. They dig. He squints. He stays still.
 One Racoon.....
 Two Racoon...
 The Sun is up. Everything wakes. They toddle off. Yawning as they go. One Racoon.....Two Racoon.....
 "Morning is wonderful. Its only drawback is that it comes at a most inconvenient time of day...." -Glen Cook ( Sweet Silver Blues)
 And out peer Spencer and Rona  from their hiding place. All is well......
