Freaked Out

Dw and I are getting ready for bed. I was washing dishes in our bathtub (the perks of remodeling the kitchen and no sink in yet). Over the water running I heard a commotion. I quick turned off the water and went to see what was going on.

Emma and Graham had gone outside to close the chickens and Ezekiel in the coup and to feed the kitties. When Graham went to the coup he found the door tightly shut. He thought that was odd and jerked the door open. As he shone the flashlight in to the coup he found about 4 feet from him a skunk. The second he saw the skunk that skunk started turning to give him a dose of spray. **yikes** Graham came running to the house with record speed. He didn’t even stop to tell Emma what was going on, she just followed him running to the house.

As Graham was telling us this Dw turned to me. He knows how much I love Ezekiel but looked at me and said, “I’m not going to the coup till morning.” I gave him that look. You know the look? The “pretty please you big hunk of hero!” He whinced. Then he said, “Ugh, will I be your big strong hero?” I assured him he would. He said, “Even if I get sprayed can I sleep in our bed tonight?” I said, “Not a chance!” LOL

Those men of mine have now gone outside to see what that skunk is up to.

On a sidenote….While I was in Alaska something ate Ping and all the eggs she was sitting on in the hayloft. She had been roosting for about 3 weeks. We were so bummed…..Probably was that lousey skunk!

At this very moment all I can hear from our room is those two men of mine carrying on like crazy people freaking each other out in the dark. This should be interesting….
