Dog...er Deer Days of Summer !


The middle of August.....the time of deer infestation. I guess they run out of juicy food in the forest and so they head to our front yard with all it's tempting bright...[ do deer see color?].....and sweet flowers and all the cool , moist grass. Up until this time of the year we don't see that much of the critters, but for the next few months they'll be our constant companions. Soon the bucks with raging hormones will enter the picture......they're scary and Jenny and I are weary as we roam around. Everybody kind of disappears during the Winter, but in the Spring our front yard becomes the local deer nursery. Deer come back to the same spot they were born in to have their babies. Apparently alot of deer have been born here over the decades, because a whole lot of them come back to have their babies. They also try to come back to where they were born when they sense their imminent death.....and we've had that happen several times.
Molly just called and she's going bravely forward and getting her long hair cut tomorrow.......she's going to the woman who fixed Tess's hair for the wedding and she did a great job that day. Molly hopes for another good day tomorrow! I'm going to try and go down and go with Molly ......hopefully, she will NOT need a shoulder to cry on.
Jim just got home and.........the report is turned in !! No trips to the office this weekend.......Yipeeeeeee!
