It reached 102 degrees today and I haven't felt like doing much of anything. The days preceding this one have been getting steadily warmer, and blogging is the last thing I've wanted to do, plus there isn't much to write about.
Lady just threw up on the carpet.
Two fawns have been on their own the past couple of days, and I think they are the same ones I took pictures of, with their mother, about 3 wks ago. There is no mother in the picture the past two days, and the babies come down and lie in the leaves and grass next to my car for much of the day. A couple of times the smaller of the two has started toward me when I'm taking the dog down the driveway, or else she just looks at me very closely but doesn't bother to get up and run. I always talk to them in a quiet voice - "Hello sweetheart" - and I am glad they don't seem to be frightened of me, nut maybe they should be frightened of people and dogs. At about 6 pm both days the two fawns make their way up the hill for the evening. When another deer goes through the yard it completely ignores the two little ones. It breaks my heart. Without another deer to care for them and about them, they can't make it. To add to their troubles, there are coyotes in the neighborhood, or at least one coyote has been seen.
We should be getting a break in the weather after the weekend, and I hope I can come up with something to say. There are about 10 more wake-ups until I leave, and I'm about ready to go. It just confirms that I can't stay in one place too long.
- Back On The Trail
I parked my car at a lot a few miles further along the trail and walked about 2-1/2 miles, which is 5 miles round trip. My legs are hurting, and I can't understand why they should since I walk a lot to begin with. The sun was...
- Timing
Timing is everything, and it wasn't the right time last week for me to have eye surgery. I have become aware over the past couple of days that I need to see an oral surgeon and have a couple more molars pulled. I found a doctor nearby and have an...
- Deer Photos , 2nd Post 6/29
I apologize that I couldn't get the pictures any clearer, but if I had gone outside to take them the deer would have run away. Please click a couple of times to enlarge them. They were so cute - one of the fawns tried to nurse but the doe kicked her...
- Back In Sacramento
I just wanted to thank everyone who has commented on my post about quitting my blog. I am between a rock and a hard place, because I love blogland and all the readers and commenters, and I'm reluctant to again put all that work into what I thought...
- Moving, Sort Of
I can't say I'll be on the road again, but I'm moving. I gave my notice yesterday to break my lease, and I plan to be out of here at the end of September which is JUST 3 WEEKS! I should be getting the 5ver back on October 2nd, which leaves...
