This One doesn't have a Skeleton!



There are so many pretty things here at the homestead.  There are some not so pretty ones too.  Last week it was creepy bones left on the trial like a gruesome decoration.  This week's creepy find appeared in the garden and was boneless.






The head gardener is pleased that this grisly gift did not appear a month ago when the place was crowded with Roma tomatoes.  Anyway.  Sometime in the night, some violence was done to a raccoon.






All that was left behind was the head and back fur.  Deciding to join the macabre party, I posted it.








Now we got us a Scare Coon.







What other sinister ornaments have we in store?

This is No Halloween Skeleton

Sometimes you find things here at the homestead that are well, disturbing.





Like this for instance.






This was smack in the middle of a path.  (Best guess, based on the bones, skull, teeth and a little bit of hair left on the head, these are the remains of a skunk.)








What else lies on the path?
