@yardtopia_adventures: PSA: It’s been raining in Yardtopia for two days, and the Keeper has been doing what she always does. I clean the deck and refresh the water every day, and I power wash the deck once a month. The big umbrella keeps part of the deck dry when it rains and gives our visitors shade when the sun is beating down. Raccoons, possums, kitties, the fox, squirrels, birds… whoever comes through has a spot to take a breather. ❤️ And I’ll be honest. I get tired of the comments. The littles can make a freshly cleaned deck look like they’ve been throwing a party for three days. It takes them about five minutes. 😂 A video might catch somebody with a Nilla wafer, but those are occasional treats. I also put out things like eggs, minnows, and grapes. A lot of what goes into caring for Yardtopia happens before I ever pick up my phone. I’ve been doing this for years, and I’m still learning all the time. I ask local wildlife experts for recommendations, and I pay attention to what I see here night after night. The longer I’ve been the Keeper, the more I’ve wanted to learn about the animals that come through. My neighbors know about Yardtopia. We live in a tucked-away area with very few people around, and I’m mindful of the people who live here. We talk. They think it’s fun, they’ve seen benefits from it, and they care about the wildlife out here, too. A sound in the background of a video tells you very little about the people who actually live here. And yes, I delete all negative comments. I share Yardtopia because it gives me hope, and I want to share a little of that with you. After two days of rain, looking out and seeing somebody tucked under that big umbrella makes me happy. Maybe watching them take a breather gives you one, too. That’s what I want this little corner of the internet to be about. 🦝❤️ #yardtopia #raccoon #wildlife #babies #snacks
