We woke up to find some some digging destruction throughout our garden for a couple consecutive days. We decided to camp in the garden to catch the perpetrator red-clawed.

I decided to make yogurt that night to give me an excuse to wake up and check on it periodically. As I was walking into the garden around midnight after turning off the heating milk, I spotted a shiny lump of an armadillo in the neighbor's yard. It walked from their yard, into the woods behind our garden and crawled under our back gate.

I tracked the critter the entire time and scared it back into the woods as soon as it started digging around our blackberries. Stacked stones at the base of the gate should keep out the armadillo for now.

We enjoyed waking up in the garden, energized for the new day along with the squash, corn, tomatoes, and peas of the garden.
