Three Posts in four days, I’m going for a new record! (Or I’m deep within the throws of some mania, you decide.)
What’s first? How bout a skunk stench update? I’ve determined, from a bit of research and your comments, that the bugger didn’t spray in the mudroom, but someplace outside. The odor inside dissipated quickly with some open windows & a quick wash of the mudroom floor. The bulk of the stench came from the back of the house, near the open window where my son was sleeping that night. Putting two and two together like such, me thinks the skunk met a raccoon or even a fisher cat. Either way, the headache inducing smell was gone by 3pm. Yay. Thanks to all for sharing your sage advice, helpful hints and empathetic stories!
More with the wildlife, but in the less smelly department… I was out in the garden, moving some of the renegade cilantro (which, we have a-plenty.) And a noise snapped me out of my zone, looking up I saw a goose family! Trying my best to be graceful and slick, (HAR!) I made a dash for the front door to retrieve my camera from inside, only to find that the kids had locked me out (a favorite hobby of theirs.)
By the time I got back outside they had made their way up Naked Sledding Hill.
AWWWWWWWWWW! Babies!!!!!
(That slope sure has filled out with green, in only a matter of 18 days. Spring is so amazing!)
Something else amazing, the view from just a bit more up that hill…
Taken just a bit after sunrise yesterday & I had every intention of posting it yesterday for my Saturday Sky.
Better late than never! (Right? Maybe?? Perhaps?)
More with the better late than never. (I suppose I’m having issues with transition this morning.)
I’ve been tagged with that viral things meme…. More than once, first by Dianna, when it was 8 things, and now by Deb, and it is down to 7 things…. (I’m only doing it so I can tag Mz. J, cuz she needs to update that *&($#!!&* blog)
Ahem. the rules:
1. Each player starts with 8 random facts about themselves.
2. People who are tagged write a blog post about their 8 random things and post the rules.
3. At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and post their names.
4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment and tell them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
1. I have a collection of Grateful Dead ticket stubs numbering in the triple digits. That means, I’ve seen them a bunch. ha.
2. I have terrible posture. My Nana would always tell me to sit up straight, I never listened.
3. I’ve never had a pedicure
4. I like both coffee and tea (I drink copious amounts of each)
5. I’m excited about turning 35
6. I have an obsession with Chomolungma. I get OCD during the climbing season and check Explorers web daily for updates. (Sadly they don’t have RSS, and I have to check manually.)
7. I’m currently fixated on the Appalachian Trail, I don’t think I’ll get around to doing it anytime soon, as it costs about 4k and takes 6 months. Plus, all that walking, sheesh, that is intimidating! Especially since I’m a big fan of the sitting. We’ll see.
8. I kick tookas at trivial pursuit and want to get some of the new card sets.
Okay, I tag no one, but Mz. J still needs to update her *&($#!!&* blog!
Since I’m on the topic of updating blogs (see, transition issues! I told ya so.)
I’m going to update the side bar on this one. So, if you are linking here and would like for me to return the favor, shout in the ye comments. OR if you have moved! I know some of you have recently. (You can run, but you can’t hide, lol.) I’d like to get everyone up who is linking, it does not seem right to have it so incomplete.
If you have read this far, you deserve some kind of award! Have a cuppa on me!
