Skunk Dance

Went out this morning to bring the paper - and suddenly saw the lawn - 2 majot areas - full with small round holes - the grass is thrown away - a mess. First thought was gopher - but that's not a gophers job. Ann ( neighbour ) did not know what it is .

Went to work - and talked to AAron - he told me right away - this is a skunk work.
They dig cone shaped holes . These holes are several inches deep at most but the turf has been destroyed where they dig.

I bought a powder that is supposed to help repel them - let's see if it helps.

Came back from work - ate dinner - and went to Sophie - for cofee and cake - and actually to meet her brother - Shlomo - who is returning tomorrow back to Israel. He is a very nice guy -
a jewler in profession - and he is really worried how his business will go if gold prices stay that high.

YAEL - HAPPY BIRTHDAY

A jeweler named Shlomo?? That's classic. Sophia in Golden Girls talks about a jeweler named Shlomo.

Sucks about the skunks -- does it smell around our house now? I wander what kind of powder repels skunks...

Yael, I was going to say the same exact thing!
