The kids and I were enjoying a wonderful day outside and all of the sudden in the midst of our 'corn hole' game, a mother skunk and her babies went for a stroll on the road right next to our house. I'm pretty sure she was a Christian homeschool mother because she had her little crew all nice and orderly (or not) and there were at least seven of them. We watched from a safe distance as she took her little ones out to play and it was so interesting to watch because she took them to the nice tall grass on the other side of the road from their den and then she just took off. I can relate to this, not the leaving your children to play by the roadside part, but the part that says, "Ok, kids, everyone out of the house! This momma needs a break!" 
At first, we just took photos from a safe distance but then much to my delight, my knight in shining armor showed up and we jumped in the back of the pickup to get a closer look at the babies. I figured we were safer in the pickup because the pickup can go much faster than my legs. 
The awe of nature... 
but then something in this photo is just not natural. I can't put my finger on it but I know there's something not quite right...
Ok, back to the nature part. Thankfully, my knight in shining armor took this little one back to his siblings and all is smell, I mean swell. :)
