Skunks in Thirty-eight Hours & Counting

Sometimes we get to do crazy things and today was one of them.  We have had several sitings of skunks passing through our back yard headed for a stream that is beyond the property border.    Perhaps there is a family of them living in the pipe that runs under the road next to our home.

My early morning walk found a road kill skunk in the middle of the street.  Rather than leave it, I scooped it up on some flat boards and tossed in the closest neighbors trash can.  Thankfully it was a trash day. 

Now we won't have to smell it for days.  Yucky work, yes, but done.  We can do icky things now and then when we are still fifty something.
