creatures

First of all, it was another great weekend. This weekend was special in that we could relax and stay home! In fact, Saturday was Domestic Day, which basically means that we cleaned (most) of our apartment for the first time in.... a couple of months? It felt really good.

We also go to celebrate Josh's grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary. That was good too, although I'll let him share the details and pictures on his own blog. (hint)

On the way back from Sioux Center yesterday, we caught sight of these cute little creatures by the side of the road. They're not bunnies, that's for sure, but they were almost as cute! Two baby skunks wandering around. They looked so lost. I was afraid that their mother was roadkill somewhere down the road.


They didn't like it when I got too close though. They turned around, lifted up their tails and made a low schreeching noise. I think they were too young to have any toxic spray shoot out of their butt--at least, I didn't smell anything.

I am really enjoying summer and life right now. Even though I got another rejection in the mail today. I think that is the last one of the batch of submissions I sent out last fall. Now I will start all over. Once I've done a bit more writing this summer.

Why don't you put up more skunks and stories about skunks?

I miss the skunks.
