Clearly she got in through that hole in the fencing.

The goats look really happy to be your leaf composters.

Yes, she is going through the square in the fence, I caught her the third time she went through this morning.
And yes, the goats are enjoying the leaves. I actually did rake some up and delivered them to the bucks.

Yes, google says they are omnivores.

But on this:
Muscles located next to the scent glands allow them to spray with a high degree of accuracy, as far as 3 m (10 ft).

Oh, skunks are so frustrating because they just don't give a darn. 80 lb dog barking at it less than 10 feet away and it completely ignored her. Well, not completely... dog consistently got sprayed. Only thing I have found them to respond to is the garden hose. Even with the tail up, a shot in the tush sent them scooting on their way! It was very satisfying too. Just make sure you have a "jet" selection on your nozzle. (so you can stay more than 10 ft away!)

I smell skunks but they never come to my place. Do skunks travel through the sewer system in cities? I watched a raccoon go into one on campus one day.

I don't know, no sewer where I am, but they go into the culverts all the time. Wouldn't think they would be in the sewers since apparently they don't climb.

Well we are well past the leaf-disposal season here. Jimmy went out to try to lure the hens out with treats, but they would have none of it. Wind is blowing and lake-effect snow squalls whisk through frequently

I still have tomatoes on one of my plants...

So pretty because it's there and I'm here.

Raining like crazy here, fire season is FINALLY gone!

It has been a very bad fire season too!

It has been a very bad fire season too!

Don't we say that every year? But yes, I agree, this year was particularly devastating.
