This skunk enjoyed a meal of cat food yesterday at about 7 p.m. while it was still light outside. Not a great photo since I did NOT open the patio sliding door. Heh heh. This skunk looks young and is very pretty. I like how they fluff up their tails so they look a lot bigger than they are, to deter being attacked.
This is our Easter table before it was fully set up and before our sons arrived.
We had a glorious Easter feast, my husband and our adult sons.
We had wonderful food brought by our sons including the first course involving prosciuto, tomato, polenta, pesto and eggs baked in the oven, wild rice and mushrooms made by me, lamb chops cooked on the grill outdoors, and cioppino made by my hubby. I am the hunter gatherer, i.e. I do all the food shopping and he often does the cooking.
First picture was so intetesting:)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful day with so many wonderful foods! Love the skunk as long as you keep him in your yard. That's why we don't feed outside anymore. Hope he doesn't spray your ac unit. That's not a fun thing in the middle of the night!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures dear!! Love that with the skunk!
ReplyDeleteXOXO!
What a cute little skunk...outside of course.
ReplyDeleteYour Easter dinner sound wonderful.
Your Easter table looks very lovely.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a few skunks that didn't make it across the street in time.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful colors in those flowers.
Pretty Easter setting.
ReplyDeleteThe only way to get that close to a skunk is with glass between you and it! Cool photo.
Yep, definitely don't open the door!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Terra, you were SO BRAVE too take the photo of the skunk. I would have been scared witless.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a lovely holiday with loved ones.
Take care and hope skunky finds another chow station. Susan
Your Easter menu sounds delicious. Hope the skunk behaves.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful table...even BEFORE any food arrived...and complete with gorgeous fresh flowers! You and your family certainly enjoyed a feast....Next year, please make sure you have my snail-mail address for the invitation. Mine must've gotten lost this year! :)
ReplyDeleteYour Easter feast sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteNever seen a skunk in the wild, since they do not live on this continent. I think I'd be daft enough to try and pet it :-)

Looks like you had a wonderful feast. That skunk would probably join you if you opened the patio, heh heh. I hope you have a glorious week ahead.

Terra, it made me hungry to read about your dinner!
ReplyDeleteSkunk is funny, but you were wise staying away from it!
Your hubby and mine would get along - cioppino is my husband's speciality dish.
