I had a fabulous birthday yesterday. Thank you everyone who wished me a happy day, it was! I had lunch with Dickidoo, and a cookout with the family, complete with cake. Check out the hillbilly birthday candle. Yep, its a tea light! The kids couldn't find any birthday candles (probably not enough is more like it). In the past we have used pillar candles, tapers, and yes, even matchsticks for birthday candles. Gabe called last night to wish his mama a 'happy birthday'. That was a gift in itself. It looks like he won't be leaving until after the weekend. That gives him a little more time to relax but unfortunately not enough time to visit with his son. Little Zachary will be a year and a half old before he sees his daddy again. Such is the life of a soldier.
Dickidoo called me bright and early this morning and asked if I was interested in a photo op. Of course I was! So I sped off to the base, illegally parked and met up with this cute little guy under a shady pine tree. Unfortunately I did not have exclusive rights to the scoop. Dickidoo mentioned its presence to a couple of other people and before I could return with a little bit of fruit to lure it closer, a crowd had gathered (including Pest Control) and spooked it off. I guess I could have gotten closer, but I'm not the luckiest person I know and I probably would have gotten sprayed. He was sooooo cute though.

After living in Colorado and getting whiff of a skunk outside our livingroom window now and then, I don't want to be around no skunks!!!!!! Our neighbors in Palmer Lake were going to see other neighbors one evening walking in the dark and unknowingly walked up on one. They both got sprayed. They went ahead and knocked on the door of the friends they were going to visit, but explained why they could not come on in and why they had to go directly back home. She did not argue, ROFLMBO!!!!!!! They are such cute animals to smell SOOOOO bad!!!!!!
Great photo anyway. You are much braver than me, I would have going as fast as I could in the OTHER direction!!!!! :-0
Blessings!

Oh Jody, you are one brave soul, I wouldn't have gone near that skunk even with my 400mm lens attached.....my dog got skunked last year, at midnight no less, and it was the worst thing to deal with, the stench was unbearable....then to make matters worse, the next day, he went after the skunk again...I hadn't realized at that ungodly hour that he killed the thing, so he went after it in the morning and we had to deal with cleaning him up all over again!
Happy Happy Birthday Jody!
