Signs of a Dovecote Intruder!? We Caught it on Camera.

September 7, 2015

A photo posted by Mary Palmer Dargan (@mpdargan)

 

It looks like someone big, really big, came onto our Dovecote property uninvited. Not that we mind! This furry guy or gal left their signature, an “I was here” sign on the ground and here’s the photo proof.

The top print is 4″ long. Raccoons were also on site. Animal party for party animals? Where was our invite? We didn’t even know we were hosting!

If you’ve got some animal paw prints, please share them with us!

Make to to follow us on Instgram for exclusive photos.

Sometimes, all it takes is a couple of hostas, a collection of Japanese maples (the Laulettas have many!) and great natural stone work. Thanks to John Warren of Natural Landscapes who installed this beautiful garden 3 years ago. Note the 4″ tall step.

In Cashiers Highlands, North Carolina, Cullasaja Club.
