A Suprise Encounter

Saturday, I set out on my morning walk. The place I walk is a road down the middle of the alfalfa & grain fields ( a perfect hiding place ! ) so this was bound to happen at some point, any way I got just about to my turn around point and ran right smack into you guessed it PEPE LE PEW !! He had come out of the corn field to get a drink of water out of the ditch that was full. I knew he had not seen me or he would of ran ( or at least Russ said he would have ran.) Any way the last thing I wanted to do is surprise a skunk, so I froze and just watched. Then the great debate started with myself. Should I try to cross to the other side of the road and go past him to my turn around point ? But then, I would have to come back past him and run the risk of him being even closer, then I would be stuck here in the middle of the fields for who knows how long. I decided not to tempt the fates and risk sleeping in the garage for a month while I detoxed. So very slowly I turned around and walked away. Then I thought I have my phone with me why didn't I take his picture. ( You know pictures always make a better blog, and they are kind of cute little critters, it's amazing they pack such a powerful punch ! ) But again don't push my luck!! The rest of the walk was uneventful. The best part, I came home only smelling like sweat.
