So, after feeding the chickens I was on my way back up to the house and suddenly I froze in my tracks! This is what I saw! Now that guy was NOT there on my way out to the chicken pen. Hmmmm.......
I quickly ran through my options in my head. Do I turn and run? Where would I run, back to the chicken pen? No, that won't work. I could run around the house to the front door but it would be locked. By the way, were my boys awake yet to help me???? I decided to begin yelling for some help while keeping my eyes fixed on this little beast in case my screams startled him and he decided to "spray". I had visions of sitting in tomato juice. Oh no, this just can't be happening! Thankfully we had not turned on the house air-conditioning yet so my windows were open. Now if I could just get the boys to hear my cries for help.
It didn't take long for Brandon to come to my rescue. He was brave enough to walk right up to this skunk. And boy did we have a good laugh. Here is my "skunk". It actually IS a real skunk skin. It had been in the shed for quite some time and I had forgotten about it.
The boys have a new puppy and that mischievous little thing is always into something. Turns out she found this skunk hat while I was busy with my chores. She drug it out to play with and left it in the grass, right in my path. Whew. What a happy ending!

so funny!i'm trying to be this farmer but the critters can't handle.i washed clothes and dried. felt a lump in pillow case, stuck my hand in and pulled out 1/2 of a striped lizard (hugh)the kind that has orange and purple stripes. so after i quit jumping, almost throwing up, peeing my pants, where is the other half? yep, had to go back to washer and dryer and he was little pieces. peed more, jumped all over place and redid clothes. what were we thinking when we turned in our high heels and diamonds?
Now that is funny! Both of your stories!! I wish I could have been there to enjoy it:)
