Good morning, rise and shine with Inspire Coffee Roasting Company Sun and cloud throughout the morning, little more cloudy in the afternoon, 40% of showers with a high of 15 Last night my family got out for a nice campfire and roasted some hotdogs for dinner before noticing a peculiar smell waft our way. I didn’t pay any attention to it because that interesting smell has become a whole lot more familiar in Canada but it did throw off my early warning skunk detection system. About 15-20 minutes after noticing the smell know I saw a dark shadow lurking behind my youngest daughter, lucky for us we got out of there and back up to the house un-sprayed lol. What happened with your last skunk and counter? 705-645-3079 or drop a comment down below
