A good brisk walk has multiple benefits.
I let my mind wander and all sorts of
thoughts enter. Does anyone else think
in “poetry?” Words, odds and ends?
So, it was one morning before work that
I had my encounter which jolted me
quickly back to reality. Black and
white, sauntering across my path,
paying me no heed. Oh, but that stripe
down its back! If I was sprayed by this
animal out of fright, how would I ever
drive back home? How would I ever
remove that odor? My mind thought of
a tomato juice remedy. Did I have any at home?
I halted abruptly and waited as this
creature continued minding its own
business past me. Whew! Skunks are not
my favorite. A few days later in the
early morning light, I spotted Mr. Skunk
waddling back and forth and under fences.
lovely blog post and photos!! Always a shocking time when a skunk passes by! Glad you enjoyed the walk though 🙂 xoxo

Emily, thank you for the great comment. It was shocking to imagine what might have happened had I frightened the skunk. But it simply sauntered on past me. Enjoy the weekend! oxox

Linda, thank you for the wonderful comment. Your kind words are much appreciated by me. We all want this soon to be over and return to what we knew before it all began last year. Once they open restaurants, we might meet for coffee and conversation. God bless you with His abundant love. So very kind of you to extend the well wishes which I will pass on to Russell. Be well and enjoy the weekend. oxox
