I had a whole other post planned for today.  It was a super yummy recipe that is perfect for your Memorial Day plans.  However, last night we had a lovely visitor and I thought you might enjoy hearing a little story about a dog named Amos and a skunk that went head to head in our very own backyard.  Don't worry I will get that recipe to you tomorrow, but last night couldn't have been made up.  Was there a cruel joke being played on me?  Was it a patience test for motherhood?  Perhaps testing my ability to stay awake throughout the night...yes that must be it. Whatever the reason was, it happened...we got skunked.

I say "we" because even though it was Amos who was the targeted victim of Mr. Skunk, we all lost the battle here.
