    had to laugh about the skunk one as we are in a battle with one around here. They are trying to trap it cause it's digging holes in our lawn for grubs every day...but disappears in the daytime and no scent left over. lol!

    That is my *favourite* colour rose. Apricots and white ones I love. Those are some wise (if difficult!) words to remember, too!
