Since we don’t hunt our land, it has become the deer superhighway. There are three does who habitually visit, browse a little, munch on the wild apples (fine) and my domestic apple trees (not cool, Bambi). While not tame, they’re pretty accustomed to the scent of people. I take them as a good omen, even when they’re pooping ten feet from the house. 

Do you MIND? A little privacy would be nice!!!


Sorry photos are blurry, they were taken at dawn out of my bedroom's dirty window.

Queen Elizabeth has passed on. I can't say I'm unhappy about it. She was a tyrant to the people of Ireland, Wales, and numerous other British colonies, especially Austrailia. She was in favor of the unjust prosecution of freedom fighters and separatists. She actively suppressed indigenous cultures, along with the rest of her family. Since the Windsors own 1/4 of all the property in the UK, you'd think QE2 wouldn't require taxpayer funds to celebrate her jubilee, but there you have it. Mixed reactions from Wales, some of whom are in mourning -- but I'm also told that others were lighting fireworks, lifting a glass, and /or downright ignoring the funerals, parades, and pomp and circumstance. No council in Wales broadcast the funeral services. Others are saying "give Wales back to the Welsh" and are unhappy about someone from the Windsor line, who are historically and genetically NOT Cymric, becoming "Prince of Wales". Sorry for the political post, but I had to say something.
