written in black ink We made a little progress on those jobs, but I find I'm not 25 anymore and my lower back seems even older than the rest of me. Daughter Teresa at 32 has staked her claim and has started a house a mile up the road from us in NH. The basement is closed in & she has just moved into it for the winter. Snug as a woodchuck!
I have spoken in 26 states in the past 2 years, but not
in Missouri. If I get near you, I'll be in touch. Congratulations on the Society of Midland Authors awards. Their choice speaks very well for their good sense.
Very best wishes,
Dave
Description at bottom of back of card RACCOON
(Procyon lotor)
by
Barbara Goss
The small paws of this playful mammal seem never to be still Notoriously
mischievous, raccoons are always into something, be it prying open a gar-
bage can or foraging along a muddy creek bank for fish, frogs, insects or
perhaps some tasty berries. Most of their curious prowling is accomplished
at night aided by keen senses of sight, hearing and touch. Though raccoons
don't truly hibernate they will occasionally go to their dens to doze away the
coldest of winter days. These popular masked bandits can be found
throughout most of the United States barring only the rugged heights of the
Rockies and arid areas of the Southwest. They seem to thrive equally well in
dense forests or heavily populated cities and suburbs, providing adequate
food and suitable den sites are available.
This card represents a gift to the National Wildlife Federation. It reminds us
of the need to conserve and use wisely all of our natural resources.
