Wild Life in John Prince Park

I found these cuties in the dumpster this morning. I called the gatehouse and Loretta said the ground crew would probably stick a palm frond in there for them to use for a ladder. I found a frond and one of them climbed right out but the other one was not budging. I showed the gent from New Jersey and his wife buttonholed Ed on the ground crew and he did nothing so they put a palm tree limb in there. Still no action. I was afraid the garbage truck would come so I slapped the bottom of the dumpster and the little guy moved on out. Pictures on the web album site.

This afternoon I snapped pictures of some Black Vultures fighting over a Possum roadkill. Also on the Web Album site. They are strong formidable birds.

Took a chance tonight and called Lori to see if they wanted to dine this evening. We met at the Macaroni Grill and had a good meal and a nice visit. Very pleasant ending to a day that included cleaning out the refrigerator in preparation for the repair job and a visit with the Vermonters. Nice people. They have kids in the area, too: three grandchildren here and seven in Vermont. He said his daughter asked how many could sleep in their large 5th wheel trailer. He said, Two." She said, "No really, how many can it sleep?" He said, "Two." No family vacations in their future!
