Someone is Here

After dark it's rare to walk out on both porches and not find either a ringtail or a skunk. Both mothers (skunk and ringtail) bring their kids up at night and leave them with me (the babysitter) and know they'll be well fed while they go off to hunt something other than hot dogs. But on this night there's no one on the porches. Getting the brightest flashlight and checking the perimeter around the porch there's a reason.
