I knew it! Here's my doe, eating the inkberry bushes and looking into the bedroom yesterday in the middle of the day.


First she was peeking around the back DH's SUV and startled us as we were working in the garage. I think were were more surprised than she was. I normally name all of my outdoor animals but haven't given her a moniker; she's just 'the deer'. 

I opened the shades this morning around six this morning and there she was again...with her fawn!

By the time I got my phone, they had left my yard. I'm sure I'll have plenty of opportunities in the next few weeks.

We are putting the finishing touches on my garden fence posts today and should have the fence hung by the end of the day. I feel bad for her but I ddin't plant all those veggies for her! She can eat the hostas. They grow back.

    Aww, lovely urban wildlife. Hope the garden fence is too tall to jump!

    Yep, that is one of them. Her baby is very new. They are kind of cute but they can tear up a lot of stuff. Ours like to look at us through the bedroom window too like we are some kind of still life. I like their eye lashes but they need to leave my feeders and vegetation alone. We had to fence our garden in too as we have herds of them here.

    Dumb question: does it drive Chewie nuts when the deer approach the house? Beautiful photos!

 I know, I know. I'm getting slow at posting trip info. As a matter of fact, I haven't printed my photo books from my 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 trips. I've a photo book from every trip taken since 2002. Sometimes twice a year if we made smaller trips. My priorities have changed, I guess.  Well, now...our first stops. Americana in Bedford PA. once made the list as the world's biggest coffee pot. The handle is on the other side. My SIL and BIL as models. We traveled to Jeffersonville, Indiana in search of other oddities.  The Colgate Clock is one of the largest clocks in the world. It works. We visited  Schimpff's Confectionery,  since 1891,  one of the oldest, continuously operated, family-owned candy businesses in the United States. It was exactly as advertised. Best chocolate I've ever had! The Big Four Bridge is a local favorite as a walkway to Louisville Kentucky. We enjoyed it at night after a nice dinner on the river in Jeffersonville. My favorite in Indiana w

 How am I, you may wonder. Pretty good! I am still following the diet prescribed by the MDs and dietician and only adding a thing or two back in weekly. I have discovered a lot of other things about my food and myself. I don't need all the ........(insert something here). Just because the label states the whole can of tuna is one serving, doesn't mean I have to eat the whole can; 1/3 does nicely.  The slice of farmhouse bread, toasted, is just fine cut in half instead of using two slices.  Pickles taste the same even when the peels are removed. I am living without a lot of cheese, my previous staple. Living without second helpings as well.  Eventually I will be able to exchange all this 'white food' for higher fiber veggies and grains. The result is I've lost 11 pounds since the end of January. I don't feel deprived.  Huh.

 Dear Diary, Missed you! I've not been of a mind to post anything. I purchased several of the books OKM was reading as we have similar tastes. I dove into the Fast. Feast. Repeat. book and read it from cover to cover. It was a better read for me than Bright Line Eating, I feel both authors put too much personality in them. I'm a more scientific approach, give me the facts, girl. To me Thompson comes on a bit haughty, Stephens' writing puts me in a 6th grade classroom. Sigh. I've gotten over myself. Just when I hit my 2 week attempt at IF, I spent multiple weeks in the throes of diverticulitis with a few days R&R in the hospital. I called them my spa days. Didn't have to care for DH and didn't care that I couldn't. The only thing missing was a mud pack and a massage. Their kitchen choices were not up to my standards even on a clear liquid diet. My martini was missing. Morphine is nice. I've never been cursed with this before, I've considered my di
