A Prickle of Hedgehogs, And Other News

So, Zumi got released on schedule, and promptly disappeared into the night. We don’t know for sure how she’s doing, but we have seen a hedgehog roughly her size after. Plus, my mother, giant animal lover that she is, puts out food for them in a special rat-proof hedgehog feeding house (the rats, as our neighbour finally admitted a month after my mother got a huge scare, are not our fault). Then, yesterday evening at dusk, I spotted a hedgehog on the lawn when my cat stared at it. So we went out to check if it was going into the house. It wasn’t, we were too fast and it was hiding in the ivy, but then I noticed the smacking sound coming from the house and ’lo and behold, a humongous hedgehog was happily munching away. And then I noticed a suspicious molehill that hadn’t been on the lawn seconds earlier that was roughly Zumi-sized. So yeah, we appear to have not one hedgehog, but a whole prickle of them.

As for writing, I mentioned that I was giving myself permission not to meet my [community profile] getyourwordsout target this year, and I’m still planning on doing that. But May was the first one where I met my target – a combination of [community profile] fandom5k and a drawerfic set in a tiny fandom that my brain wants to write for reasons unknown to me – and that’s making me happy!

I also posted a photo in [community profile] common_nature in an attempt to come out of my shell a little bit. For some reason, posting in communities always scares me, even after almost twenty years on LJ, IJ and DW.
