this morning, as I was reading in the garden, a small skunk darted under the gate from the back lane, along the sidewalk, and out to the driveway…

it was way too quick for a photo, yikes… I had smelled what I thought were coffee grounds when I woke up and wondered where the scent had come from… now I know…

reminded me of the time we were camping and a skunk sauntered through the campsite as we were sitting by the fire…

the girls jumped on top of the picnic table while I sat still as it wandered along under the table, by my feet, and then out of the site…

I thought if it was going to spray us, standing on the table wouldn’t help, lol…

this time I did go and close the garage door so if it came back it wouldn’t go in there…
