Well, that didn't take long! Phil either has a brother, a sister or a spouse.
I looked out into the backyard today and this is what I saw. Again, we just need to work on co-existing. I don't mind the burrow at the end of the yard. We kindly call that the summer cottage. It's the winter residence that needs to be vacated - up under our porch.
On another animal matter, while weeding yesterday I was stung by a bee. I found out the hard way that there was a nest of ground bees in my front flower bed. One little guy stung me through my glove. It was so painful! I can't imagine if I didn't have my glove on how it would have been. This morning when I got up I found that something, and I assume it was the skunk, eliminated my bee problem. That is one of the perks of co-existing.

We first learned about ground bees in Winder, GA when my son was a little boy. He liked to find a big stick and walk around the woods pounding with it.
One day I heard screaming and ran outside to hear him yelling "it bit me, it bit me". My first thought was that he's been bitten by a snake.
He had a lump the size of an egg on his neck. Luckily some Benadryl took care of the swelling. Their bite is painful.
