Past 2 years around this time, a family of deer - both parents and two doe (does? doh?) - find their typical food around the river gets scarce. So they spend more time in our/our neighbours yards. They're always cutting through our yards in the summer anyways, but now they linger and forage.

Last year - we lost a few new trees because they like the young sap. Tried it - not sure why. Maybe it's an acquired taste. We'll see how it goes this fall. Frankly, there's a neighbour three yards down with a veritable "Uncle Willy's" of Fawn Fare. (Isn't that where Deanna used to work in the mall?)

So it's been a few weeks and - except when I was out of town for a few days - she's slept in her tent every night.

BTW - Thanks J, for the head's up on the new Florida shoot first law. I was there for a conference/a few meetings and Goofy never made a move for that bulge in his vest.

I know it's fuzzy

This is usually the shot I get

For those of you wondering how the girl is doing ... healing well. Very little scabbing. And for some reason, she has no interest in scratching or picking at it.

Who's kid is this?!?!

Boo

Took the kids to the Zoo today. They've opened up their annual Boo At The Zoo. Lots of staff in various costumes and sets of houses and caves, etc ...

There were some odd things that I don't ever recall seeing before though.

More odd things.

I imagine these represent something from H. Potter or L.O.T.R? Anyone recognize these from a narrative description?

Even more odd things ...

I guess I'm just not up on the latest fads and who's hot/who's not. I'm guessing this guy is a somebody, 'cuz he has a posse. Or is that plural? What is it if there's only one - possum?

... and finally ...

Leanne doesn't do rides. I "made her" ride with me once on a roller-coaster in Minnesota. I thought she was just kidding when she said she got scared, but she literally screamed the whole ride. We got off the ride and heard one little girl tell her mom "... that's her, she's the one ...".

So this is why it will always be me with the kids on any rides.

Okay - it's getting late.

I don't know how Leanne got this shot. We actually had a lot of fun on that ride.

Holy Tomatos

This is just to give you a sense of how prodigious a green thumb Leanne has ... and how much sunlight we get on the South side of our house. I mean, c'mon. Martha Stewart could sail in that thing.

Shouldn't let him get at my VCR tapes.
