Eating from the garden

So the season of mellow fruitfulness is upon us, and I graze; drunk with delight and gratitude. I have raspberries, plums, figs and…

what IS this?

And along comes Maggot. The corn hadn’t even formed adequate ears, so she just trashed the place for no good reason.

That’s all I have to say on the matter. Badgers are a law unto themselves….
