Love your quilt!! Gives me ideas for some dogwood print I have been saving. (They don't grow well in our climate and I love them.) I can relate to your drought problems. No raccoons, but here in the country, we have had rabbits in hordes eating everything. I guess since everything is so dry, they came to visit for dinner and water. We have been lucky lately to get a little rain...just enough to give the men a rest from corn harvest!
