We were both a bit freaked out, but I find this really intriguing as well as we live most of the time in the city and wild life is new to us.

We've owned our home for about 2 year and this was the first incident.

I am looking at this as a good omen, a beautiful gift.

Is your cottage in New Hampshire? We are close in proximity and live in the mountains.

Hi Webgirl. We are located in Laconia, NH.

Now, the guys on the forum, especially NoBozo, have been giving me a good ribbing on this critter thing. All in fun and funny! But the seeds I found under my pillow are exactly as you describe. And while we did have something trip the traps set in the outside pantry (a room off the building) I still don't believe it was related to the inside incident. I'm going with your thought that it might be a good omen, a beautiful gift. It has not happened again. Just that once. And no, NoBozo, I don't believe my husband put them there! But just in case, I was thinking about getting a racoon tail and sticking it down under the blankets where his feet would be so when HE went to bed and tucked his toes down under .....
