    Following Smokey’s recent small tree house break-in, our community’s FCW (Feral Crime Watch) director ambled upstream to the scene of Smokey’s recent house break-in. Having endured past disturbing Smokey incidents, Bambi was prompted to gather a few feathered FCW members to discuss Smokey’s latest rowdy behavior that left Mr. and Mrs. Screech Owl homeless ☹…

    Last evening up here on the mountain – down in the ‘holler’ – over the ‘crick’ our sanctuary’s normal peaceful solitude was violated! . . .  a small tree house was broken into and removed from its location!

    We’re truly grateful for the quiet sanctuary from the cacophony of the everyday hustle and bustle our Smoky Mountain digs provides. Up here on the mountain most of the friendly neighbors we share the forest with don’t have lawns.  Those who do are eligible for free lawn care services by roaming groups of feral neighbors…

    Tucked away in the Smokies, each day we delight in unexpected visits from neighbors who have roamed these forests for eons.
