Prams in trees and it's Monday Morning
Village Police Report: a resident reported a skunk was in the field behaving strangely. Police shot the animal.
Since I don't really know what would be normal or not for a skunk save making a stink I wondered what behaving strangely meant? It conjured up images of a skunk perhaps reciting poetry, or dancing, or standing on its hind legs shadow boxing.
Current Book: The Drink and the Dream Teahouse by Justin Hill. I love it when you can read a book and it can make you burst out laughing not because it is telling a joke, but because a character in it reacts to something she doesn't like.
Studio Jafabrit: Effigy Doll gets her leg today :) Wood Kimono gets finished :o AND I start a new graffiti panel (oh I really should work on the pink bunny one)

Poor skunk...I enjoy reading the police blotters myself.
I'm looking forward to seeing the progress of the kimono and doll later this week, and by the way,
Congratulations!!
Did he emanate upon being shot?
Okay, I can picture a skunk chasing a cat with a painted stripe on her back. No, wait...
Congrats on the nifty award, you deserve it!
Great post! Thanks for sharing with us!
*HUGS*
Wonderful photograph, it looks like the Yellow Springs I remember and miss. Thanks.
Robin
I'm going to be smiling all day at Gregory's gambit.
(Yes, do the Bad Bunny!)
A refrigerator.
I don't get it either. This was a joke going around when I was about 13 :-)
I am afraid I can't move past the image of the poor skunk!
What could he possibly doing that was worthy of assassination!!!
Poor poor smelly beast!
I hope he squirted his vile smells all over the policemen's uniforms...
That's a silly joke sue, but did it make you laugh, hee! hee!
Thanks Dinah, cynthia, hmbt, Gregory is a bit of a character and certainly adds to the local colour.
Casey, maybe the skunk recited, "to die or not do die, that is the question". poor little creature. I can't totally blame the police (I know some of them and they are nice guys).
Robin, I am glad it made you smile. it's a funny little place, this yellow springs.
cailleach, thanks for visiting. I think she is about 10 inches tall.
dr.john, she got her leg LOL! alas, I didn't get as much done as I thought. I always seem to underestimate how tedious and time consuming it is to paint patches of wood for the kimono.
We have fox around here. They are so cute... but, if you are out walking you notice a smell and think "oh, a skunk has been here". No......... its just where a fox has uninated. Go fugure. No one shoots at them though.
Congrats on the award!
It makes me think it was all an elaborate show on the skunk's behalf. He was laying down a routine that involved mystery and illusion and the wearing of a high collared cape while making smaller rodents disappear from the inside of wicker baskets.
Shame about the finale of the whole debacle though, no artist deserves to be shot, especially whilst performing...
Congrats on the 'Rockin' award!! (thumbs up!)
Good work on receiving the award.
P.S. Found a shopping trolley in the creek the other day.
I hope it stays that way :) but howard what of the young male students, didn't they do care free and interesting work?
