S'mores and...Skunks!

Sitting by the coals of a dying fire in Evan and Judith's yard, we enjoyed the gooey sweetness of marshmallows, melted chocolate, and peanut butter, along with the crisp crunch of graham crackers. Thunder crashed in the background and lightening flashed, but the storm was several miles away, and so we chatted. All of the sudden, Evan said, "Look!" I looked up to see a family of skunks out for an evening stroll...or maybe they were having a wake for the one whose life ended abruptly this morning by the will of the farmer. Soon the raindrops started falling fast, and we had to give up watching the skunks as we ran for cover.
