Javelinas Again During a Full Moon

The full moon has been bright enough for the girls to have their moon lit walks, the last two nights.  Anne-Marie and I have been at Grandmas house doing laundry and packing the left over stuff from the estate sale, and we are almost done.  The Realtor has been showing the house several times a week, but no good offers yet. 

For not having anything to do all day, we are struggling to keep up with all the social activities that are available to us.  Today we have a trip to a ghost town, about an hours drive away, lunch out with about 7 friends, A wine tasting tour, A pizza feed at 4:00PM, and Happy Hour after all of this.  Some days we can just barely keep up.  Saturday, the group has a hike planned that requires an early start. about 8:00AM.  We all seem to enjoy a day off between the high energy days, but the happy hours continue.

Tuesday Evening we had a early moon rise, and the clouds from the west to the east had a red glow, but the camera didn’t show it well.  Out of a dozen pictures that I took, this was the best.  The moon is so bright, that this camera just doesn’t show detail.   This was taken during happy hour, standing behind Steve’s RV.

The Javelina made a visit last night, and pushed the seed block all over while chewing on it.  The Javelina in the center, is pushing and rolling the seed block.  I didn’t see anything this morning, except foot prints, and I think that the seed block has been eaten.

This picture shows the huge head and neck that these animals have. 

The damage and heartache that these animals cause, is nearly as bad as the neighbors hogs back home, when they got loose, and rooted around the yard and garden.  Tuesday night when they visited this seed block, they first visited Bill and Linda’s bird feeding area, and tore up their little garden, and ate their seed block.  Linda was watching from inside their RV, as the seed block was broken by the Javelina’s strong jaws, and then consumed by two of the animals.  Bill tried to chase them off, by throwing rocks, but they returned after a few minutes.  Bill said that a couple of them were broad, and wide like small cows, and didn’t want to mess with them.  Over at Steve’s RV, they left slobber and snot on a few of the chairs, and moved some decorations under the bird feeders.

This morning, after changing the memory card in the camera, I saw that the Javelina had really rooted up Steve’s patio area, and under the bird feeding tree.  The nice border holding the bark mulch in place was rooted up, and a lot of the bark was pushed around, it’s kind of a mess.

I think that we don’t need to have food for these animals even close to our RV’s anymore.   They just aren’t grateful about anything.
