8:00 am • This Porcupine trundles through the strawberries surrounded by Pink-striped Oakworm Moths. It is time to start the day and with this lady’s slow pace it is important she gets started early and with a good, sweet, and hearty breakfast.
Porcupines make me think of sloths. If we had sloths in the trees of the Northwoods they would be it. They are a very unique critter with their built in armor and slow pace. Their quills can give them a soft appearance from a distance but when seen up close the barbed shafts make this sweet, slow sauntering critter one to be wary of. I find the lovely contradiction to be quite relatable.
