I’m seeing more and more deer as the year winds down. Some look pretty skinny despite there being plenty of stuff to forage on. I wonder what the problem is.

Caught some cute pictures of a fawn in the yard this morning. Also some of young bucks with antlers covered in velvet. There’s a 4 pointer that’s been quite bold — he comes almost all the way to the front porch to browse on the canna lilies and my last remaining rose bush.

Hummingbird activity is peaking as they get ready to head to Mexico for the winter. It’s hard to believe that fall is only 40 days away. After so many days of 100° heat, it’s difficult to think of colder temperatures. They would sure be welcome about now, though — and let’s not forget rain!

I finally got the pathology back on Camilla’s toe. There was no cancer, just arthritis and something associated iwth trauma (I forget the exact word she used). She’s feeling so much better since the toe was removed, though. She’s back to my happy, cuddly girl again.

Ken’s working a short day today — he said he would be home about 3:30. He also said he would be working every Saturday through Labor Day weekend which is a bummer. He keeps teasing me with this talk of “no more Saturdays”, but it never seems to happen or not for long.

He brought home some candly last night that has me laughing. It’s just gummy bear-type candy, but they are in the shape of naked men.  They are quite anatomically correct, too. Don’t look if you’re easily offended. They are pretty tasty.

Well, I have to get started on this house. Laundry, et al won’t get done with me sitting in front of this computer.

Love to all,

Margaret
