My neighbor wouldn’t like knowing about all the animals at our house

There’s lots of animals living behind our house.

When I first moved out here, I saw a family of rabbits.

There was a whole litter of babies following around many adult rabbits, and they were all eating clovers near the edge of our garden. I thought it was 1 of the cutest things I have ever seen! Then another evening I saw a mother opossum with more babies riding on her back as she ate berries from a blackberry bush. I love seeing all these animals! One day I was graced by the sight of a bunch of baby ducklings when I was out on our back porch reading a newspaper with a beer. And none of these woodland creatures have ever posed a threat to me or to our house besides the raccoons. And don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy those little buggers too. But they are relentless with our neighbor’s garbage. Luckily my neighbor hasn’t yet figured out that they’re coming from our yard and hopefully he never does. I remember one night I was taking out the garbage and there was a raccoon sitting up on our Heating and Air Conditioning condenser with the fan running. It was blowing his fur around and he didn’t even notice me standing there at first because of how loud the condenser is while it runs. I shooed him away from the air conditioner equipment, but I have to say that he was cute. It’s pretty hilarious to find a baby raccoon playing on top of a condenser fan, assuming he’s not causing issues or leaving any poop behind. In this case, the little guy only gave me a good laugh.
