Spring has Sprung!

Well it appears that, today anyway, spring has sprung!!

I DON'T know this by the extra hour of daylight in the evening that we are currently enjoying.

Nor do I know this by the wonderful BBQ dinner I cooked tonight.

Neither is it the snow that is ALMOST melted.

But what does tell me that Spring has Sprung is the PUNGENT smell of SKUNK that I am currently experiencing!!

We frequently head to a park near us and Lily always says, we are nearly there, when she can smell the skunk. For some reason it ALWAYS smells like a skunk.

I think I better go shut my windows if you can smell it! Luckily it hasn't made it to my basement yet!!!

I was about to write F.I.N.A.L.L.Y. -- until I got to the skunk part.

At my husband's old apt. (while we were dating) it used to always smell like skunk -- he said there was one who used to travel the little alleyway in between his building and the next during the night. Needless to say, we spend more time at my apt.

I don't know where it came from, but here's to hoping it stays around!
