Animals rummaging through trash.

I made it out to our back yard for the first time in over a month last
week and the visit wasn't planned. I was taking out the trash and
noticed that one of the bags we were storing under the deck had been
partially pulled through one of the cracks in the deck side. I'm not
sure how the bag was pulled through the one inch gap between the wood
planks of the deckwall because the contents of the bag were larger
than this. Despite this, some unknown animal(s) (I think raccoons)
managed to get over half the bag through this little gap and then
spread it out along my backyard. I was none too pleased.

We were just heading out to the inlaws for the day when I had noticed
it and decided that I would clean it tomorrow. Big mistake.

When I finally had time to get back there to clean the mess I had
found, it had already been pouring rain the entire day, making the
contents of the bag not only gross (it was grabage afterall) but
soaked as well. This added a dimension of putridness you wouldn't
believe.

I wasn't running my blog at the time, otherwise I would have taken a pic for
all to see. Rest assured, if and when this happens again, I'll have all
the juicy pics up for you to see :)
