Family in the road...
On my way back from taking my cat to the vet this morning I came across these guys on my road.

You got that right! I was shocked by the amount on my drive to the vet. It's a country vet and it's about 20 miles from here, and the entire drive is "country" as well. I must have come across at least a dozen examples.
And the worst part was a skunk. I saw it on the way down and easily avoided it. On the way back, however, a vehicle coming in the opposite direction ran over it and threw a little bit of it up onto my Jeep. I couldn't really see it, but I could hear it when it hit. It was raining a good bit at the time, so it washed off, but the smell still stayed. When I got home I hosed the thing down as best I could, including the front grille and undercarriage, as the smell followed me all the way home. I'm so glad I had the driver's side window completely closed at the time.
I have to go back to get my cat either later on today or tomorrow morning, and I hope it doesn't still reek.
One second earlier or later and I would have been fine. Out of the entire trip, which was at least an hour's worth of driving... one second. SMH.
Though it's the best I could do, as I didn't notice them until they were already exiting, they paid me a visit...
They ended up going being the garage (behind the red Jeep) and over to a field. I tried to run over and head them off, as there are hunters out there today, but I was too late. Luckily, after looking it up, it's not turkey season! 🙂🙂🙂
