It was much warmer this morning when we left the house for our walk--42 degrees instead of the 30 degrees of yesterday. We walked out the back door and as we turned the corner of the house we found that we had a visitor near the garden. A nice looking skunk had its head down, walking toward us, while he was busy eating. He didn't even see us. I ran back inside to grab my camera so I could get his picture. Afer a few minutes he realized we were there and took off into the tall grass. We're not sure where he is living, but hope it's across the road in the woods.

After breakfast, we watched a little of the Sunday news shows, got cleaned up, and headed off to church. This morning John participated in the service by reading scripture and leading in prayer. Since his back is still stiff, John once again spent most of the day resting and watching NFL football. This evening he said his back is feeling a little better. Hopefully it will keep improving as we head out on our trip the end of the week. Nothing worse than sitting in a car for hours when your back is painful. This evening a dark cloud bank moved in from the west and contributed to a beautiful sunset with unusual clouds.
