Skunk Cabbage And The Rest

Scunk cabbage in the road side ditch.  Pretty but smelly.

I can’t make this up but there is a plant called skunk cabbage. And there you see a pic of it. It is just a continuation of the theme “just me” that we were working on yesterday. So yea, the skunk cabbage jumps up to say, that I am wrong it is not just me. And yesterday walk was like that and I need to explain.

It was as if the natural world was asleep for the winter which is what it amounts to but where I was complaining it was being patient and sort of enduring it all, bideing time. And everything had that peace about it. But yesterday on my walk the usual peaceful robins were fearsly fighting over territory. See I hadn’t mentioned them in the blog and they showed up to say,”no it’s not just you.” And an eagle showed up to make the ravens all mad and noisy. “No not just you, dummy” they said to me. Come to think of it, the only thing that didn’t happen was for an early bee to sting me and that would have gotten the point across but I think that I got it.

This all is reminding me of that question about whether the tree falling in the forest makes noise if no one is there to hear it. Of course it makes a noise. How is the fox going to jump out of the way?

Well, that’s it for today. Plenty of things to do today and have to get started. Skunky loves? Felipe.
