The Visitor

Day 3 — Beautiful Moments

Yesterday, when I got home, I saw a visitor in my yard. I’ve seen him before, but today he lingered and I could admire his beautiful coat. I couldn’t smell him, so I think he hadn’t sprayed. He was oblivious to me as he searched for grubs and bugs in the yard. When he finally spotted me, he turned tail and…. ran.


I’m challenging myself to find a beautiful moment each day for a week. This happened on Tuesday. How about you? Did you have a beautiful moment yesterday?

    1. Once they spray, they carry that odor with them for the rest of their life. That skunk as a particularly beautiful coat I think.

    1. Honestly, when I posted the video I hadn’t even put on the sound. The bird song is always there in my yard. I wake up in the morning to the robins, sparrows, and indigo buntings. Some nights as I’m falling asleep I hear the owls. You’ve reminded me of something that I take for granted and shouldn’t. Thank you!

    1. You’re the second person to mention the bird song! It’s funny because that’s just such a backdrop to my life that I don’t even hear it anymore. I need to pay more attention. Thank you for commenting.
