Happy St. Patrick’s Day from a little guy named Romeo

Introducing Romeo! ?áHe is a rambunctious little orphan raccoon that I met last summer while completing clinic hours with herbalist, Christine Dennis. ?áAfter long days of clinic, we went for walks throughout the forest and this little guy would tag along. ?áThese are the most suitable photos in my collection that reflect something Irish; a little raccoon, not much bigger than a leprechaun, drinking elixirs from old stumps, mimicking us as we ate berries and frolicking in the forest. I feel lucky to have met this charming little woodland fellow.
