Hubby and I recently relocated to the Southern California town of San Pedro.  As previously noted in my last blog, we bought the true “fixer-upper”. What we didn’t realize is that our quiet hamlet also came with a “zoo”.  Now keep in mind, I am born and raised on the east coast.  I have seen plenty of garden variety Disney characters in my backyard, including Bambi and Thumper.   I tried snapping a good photo of the peacock parade to show all of you, but they were a bit shy with their feathers or fast on their feet.  So, below is a photograph that I found from a local realtors website.

In other “local animal news”…this week we also were introduced to a skunk, family of raccoons and many ferrel cats who renting space from our little property.  None of them are paying any rent and I believe the skunk has overstayed his welcome.

  Also, it dawned on me later today that the creator of the NBC television logo must have lived in my neighborhood!
