A few of the local animals

We had a picnic on Monday, 'cause it was like 75 degrees, sunny and clear. No wonder everyone wants to live in California. Auggie had a big time. He's starting to look a bit like Elmo, no?

In other news, our friend, Possum Jenkins, visited the deck over the weekend. We've sublet him some burrow space in the back yard near the fence. He's kind of a friendly fellow if you keep your distance, and he had some extra cute babies over the summer (sorry, no pictures). We also had a huge spider move into the front yard. We haven't named it as I don't think it will be around for too long.
