Oh, woe, more skunk tales...

That Man is trying for a record, I think!

He set that trap again, he caught ANOTHER skunk! I was at home when he dispatched this one, and was tempted to take a picture of him putting the lifeless body into a sack, but I stopped myself at the last minute. One thing about skunks, they have a really long tail!

The closest I ever was to a skunk was when I was a new bride, and my furrier In-Laws told me to pick out a nice collar for my cloth coat. I liked the skunk, without any white furs. I suppose that tells you something. I could have had mink, chinchilla, fox, seal- whatever I wanted. I liked the skunk. LOL (This before PITA, mind you.)

Maybe I was just homesick.

I think we are going to just fence the garden to keep critters out. How long can the Man's luck last? He is bound to get sprayed sooner or later.

I have warned him to NOT expect good treatment if/when he does get sprayed. He will be peeling clothes and showering in the back yard, January or July.

I bet he is really worried about that.

Not.

Oh, no, not another one!

So what did we find when the barn was finally down? A very dead armadillo, just shell and bones, and a network of holes in the ground. There's also a bad smell of decay, but I can't tell if it's from the armadillo maze or from chicken litter being spread on the neighbor's field behind us.

There was a nice big bushel basket sized stone under there, too, now set in my chicken rose bed.

LOL! I hope you have a happy and 'skunk-free' Thanksgiving!
