3 Skunk Night

· Maine Event

Today started off foggy but warmer than yesterday. It ended up clearing and being sunny and warm around noon. On the beach, it was quite windy, but inland it felt like a warm sunny day. Work was busy, and we barely got out. After dinner, we took an evening walk and came across three different groups of skunks! It was finished off with a glorious sunset. TGIF!

Good Morning Fog - Welcome to our morning walk

Laid back entrance to Willow Camp Estate. The historic compound that hosted Al Capone, Steinbeck, Jerry Garcia, and others.
Heard it's for sale for a mere 15M
Hello sunshine!
The Moon is 96.7% illuminated and will be full on Sunday!
Only a blur as it was moving in our direction. The first was a family, this was the second, then as I was asking what they eat...one emerged from the garbage can.

Here is what AI says they eat: Skunks are omnivores with a varied diet, primarily eating insects, grubs, and larvae, especially in spring and summer, but also consuming small mammals like mice and voles, bird eggs, fruits, nuts, and seeds, particularly in the fall and winter. Their diet also includes garden crops, small reptiles like snakes, and they will scavenge for garbage, pet food, and carrion.

Goodnight. We be tired little people.

Have a beautiful day.

Sending oodles of love,

Tawnia
