Rabbits Love Fairport Convention

Rabbits. Wonderful creatures they. And music connoisseurs. Most people don’t know that. Percussion is there thing (remember Thumper? Prince with the Swift Warning?) and sometimes they broaden their scope to other instruments. Most often they tend to voice when they explore. Sometimes, if one listens carefully, one can hear them harmonize when they vocalize. Largely … Continue reading "Rabbits Love Fairport Convention"

Colder and Colder Nights

Recorded in early November 2021, our raccoons prepare for winter. I wanted to write something witty and frivolous at this point. Wasn’t happening.

Spring Kits

We’re happy to report Hyacinth and her kits made it through another winter. They woke pretty much on schedule and came for their…umm…dinner? A bit late for breakfast or lunch. Unless they’re working 3rd shift. Which is possible. Raccoons are usually nocturnal. At least around here. Except when they’re preggers and/or nursing. Either one, they … Continue reading "Spring Kits"
