Holding Down the Fort

There are a lot of things that just have to wait until harvest is over. But some things can't wait. Like returning the traps we had borrowed during the days of our skunk invasion. I felt bad we'd had them for so long, but every time I tried returning them, along came another critter that needed caught.

After the owner's asking, I knew it was time to get them back. Only problem was, there was a skunk in one of them. Brent has been working such long hours I knew he wouldn't have time to take care of it. By default it became my responsibility.

I felt like a Sarah Agnes Prine as I rode my extermination vehicle down to the site. Being that close to a skunk made me jumpy for rest of the afternoon, but I did it. I took care of it.

It's probably silly how something like that gives me confidence, but I felt on top of the world.
