Interesting animals I couldn't get pics of

Couple of interesting animals in the last couple days I couldn't get pics of.

When we came home around 9pm from Mom's Birthday Tues night we were making the turn in the driveway to the garage and Sara said "What's that?"  I said "owl".  We both kinda thought it must be a dog or cat or something...  I aimed the headlights over it.  Sure enough we had an owl just sitting out in the middle of our yard.  He flew off after a few seconds.  Cool.

And then this morning at about 5am I got out of my car in the parking lot in town to go to work and I look over and on the other side of the parking lot there's a half second of "oh hello kitty" and then I realize.  "That's not a cat".  "Hello skunk."  He was cute and just meandering his way along the snow drifts along the parking lot.


Today we hope to close on our 13acre parcel of land.  (Followed by my hope that a local restaurant closer to the old house (and where we're doing the closing) still has their Thursday night pizza and pasta buffet that I have yet to make it to!)  (:
Now if only we could get the house sold!!!  (Sara's doing her best to get on the realtor's butt now to get the freakin' ads in the paper...)
