 We're havin' a heat wave, a tropical heat wave♬♫♪ The 90's are not welcome for the plants or animals. Or people for that matter. I don't do well in the air quality alerts so I stay in, except for a bit of gardening and of course, running in my pool. It's turned to walking! The water temperature is hovering between 92 and 98! How the heck can you enjoy water like that except as a spa for AFTER exercising! I haven't gone in before 3pm and I only stay in for an hour; it's enough since I'm back to the gym again. My garden is stuffed with goodies   and The Deer has not been able to eat any. I feel bad , but not bad. She can have my hostas, and after my last post she did sample one. She's been leaving her kids on the front lawn of the home across from me. I've seen them stay there all morning. Today it was the two-headed deer. They snuggled together to create a monster! I named them after my two kids and they've kept up my expectations. DD1 sits d

It feels like not much is going on in OJ's world, yet I'm busy.  After we both got past the "snowing tissues" phase of covid, we started working on projects once more. Time was of the essence in completing my garden fencing as The Deer supplied us with two offspring as I suspected. She looked way too tired and thin for just one fawn.  One is independent and scampers all around while the other sticks next to mom. I caught the independent one in the road, drinking water from a puddle while mom and sibling were in a back yard! Mentally I've named them after my two kids. I could have put my elder child in a room full of nails and she wouldn't have touched one. The younger would have built a house and stuffed a few in her ears and nose. Ah, I remember the Christmas tinsel in the nostril episode... but I digress! So far she's not visited my back yard to feast on the hostas. DH and I struggled to complete the garden fence, or Boarder Wall, as he's named it. W
