A normal day, wonderful! We have had way too much fun in June, most of it away from home. We unpacked yesterday and today is a just a plain old good day. Breakfast was a little late since we could sleep until we wanted to get up. As a special treat, we saw our resident baby deer waiting at the side of the woods. Soon, mama deer came out onto the back lawn and assessed the area. As we were sitting in front of the big window, we were as quiet as we could be. She nibbled and walked on. Baby, still with spots, slowly followed her and stopped to nibble on the same grass mom did. When she reached the woods on the other side, he ran like ahh a deer to catch up, and they both disappeared.
Charles puts out bird feed every morning so we can watch the birds at breakfast. We have been gone so much they were scarce, but I am sure they will find their way back to breakfast every morning. We have two very fat squirrels who are regulars. They are fat because they have first call on the birdseed. The water level is low right now and the squirrels drink out of a hole in one of the trees that holds water. It is a favorite spot for all the animals including two snakes several years ago.
One of our peach
trees died during the heat last year so we have no peaches. However, our fig tree by the front door looks
good. Last year some critter beat us to
the fruit. Charles has lots of grapes at
his in-law’s house. I am a little lazy
about spending a whole day making jam, but it would be good. We stocked up on Sur-Jell just incase I have
a spurt of ambition.
Sue had fresh
peaches one day last week. We sat on the
front porch and ate them. So good and
juicy. Weatherford will have their peach
festival in a couple of weeks. Maybe I
will have two onsets of ambition.
Bobbe and Yvonne
are back from their trip to South
Dakota
Bless you all.
