You won't believe the timing on this, but last evening just after dark I turned on the light in my laundry room, which also lights up the back yard a bit, and went out to grab the last few apples off my tree because I was yearning for a pie. As I'm up on the stepladder who do you think came walking across the top rail of my backyard cedar fence? Yep, a porcupine. He stopped to look at me and I froze so as not to scare him /her. He made moves about turning around, then about going straight ahead, then about turning around, then proceeded straight ahead and turned the corner to head west along the neighbors fence. I had to giggle based on this chat we've had here, and I climbed down thinking you're OK buddy, I've already had the main course, now I'm just looking for desert.
