Lola



This is a short story about Lola, the raccoon who graces the top of my blog page. One evening in late May, I saw this face peering at me from the back shed. Lola had come to feed on the corn and sunflower seeds I had placed for the squirrels and had been surprised by my appearance. She ran to the back of the shed and peaked around the corner to see if it was safe.

Over the next month, Lola showed up nightly to nosh on whatever food remained. Then suddenly, she disappeared. When she returned a week later, Lola wasn't alone. Lola was joined by three youngsters. The mystery of her disappearance solved.
