I forgot!

I can't believe I forgot this! Seriously, Normal Heights should be renamed skunkville! I was on my jog tonight and I was going by a house when I caught a wiff of skunk. And I looked over and, on the step, someone had a bowl of what I presume was cat food and water. Napping in the sun - right on the step - was a skunk!! All black and I could see the white back. Just all curled up and taking a snooze! I looked around (stared, gaped, gawked!) for a couple of minutes and the skunk must have heard me and decided to take a peek. Suddenly I was looking at the prettiest cat face I have ever seen! Very cute. I'll be darned.

Be careful out there!

That's funny! Glad it was only a cat. Sure wouldn't want a skunk sleeping on my porch. We've only seen a couple here this summer.

I have tried twice now to post a new message and gotten error messages both times. Don't seem to have a problem posting here.

So, have been for my walk and now going over to help Mike finish up the staining. he's already on the ladder over there and I'm sure he needs my advise!

Glad you got your walk in. I sure hope you are feeling less stiff. I have been thinking of you!

I'm also glad you guys are done with your task! Whew! And the house looks fantastic!

Oh, no! I just understood your first comment - it was NOT a cat! I thought it was at first but I guess skunks have really pretty cat like faces. Apparently they are sometimes called pole cats because they look so much like cats in the face.
