The Best Thing To Happen To Me Today...

Watching the deer come in to eat corn.
Chase each other around so they could get some corn.
First to arrive was a small buck with short antlers.
Later a larger buck came in.

I think there 10 or 12 , chasing each other around.

is this the time of the rut?

The best thing to happen today was a phone call from a friend who has just had the all clear. She had tests just before Christmas and had to wait until today for the results. Now she can breathe a sigh of relief and celebrate.

I got 3 somewhat exciting texts this morning: 1)from my daughter who texts me often; 2) from 2 NY friends who drove across the country in a van and will be here end of the week; and 3) from a friend I love but haven't heard from in months, had assumed she was ghosting me.

After a not so good morning a friend drove me to local bakery where I got two of their very popular turkey vegetable pies..
A complete meal
The best thing to happen to me today!
They are so good and sell like wildfire.
About to have one now
Cheerss

Meditated first thing, got another chapter read in my latest book, watched a documentary that's been on my Netflix list a while, observed a pair of hawks a bit, the way they ride the air currents. If nothing better happens that's all good.

I found the missing little wheel off the can-opener I chucked out 3 weeks ago.

@OregonGuy Yes the male deer are in Rut.
That starts after the first 'hard' frost, in Pa.

Archery season starts in Oct. in Pa , deer should be in rut by then.
With climate changes it was late.

The buck that was in had 4 on the left & right side looked like the points on that got broke off.

I got some photos of him.

The buck walked through our yard,looking across the road.
Turned around to go back to feed ,, thought he was going walk up & look at me watching him .

Have to reprogram my photo site.

Pluto ended their Season's Greetings channel but I found Christmas movies on Tubi!

Was able to have a few last minute items delivered by DoorDash. I buy nearly everything from Walmart, but their delivery scheduling showed all booked for days.

Woke after 10 hours of sleep, laid under the warm covers and just watched goldfinches on the bird feeder at our bedroom window.

We went to see "Flow" at our local arthouse theater. It was touching and it featured a black cat that looked just like our Bugsy.

So far today, it’s early yet, was my online Episcopal church services at 9 am.

 

[CooCooforCoCoPuffs]

Sunshine on my shoulders and back. The warmth is amazing.

 

[MarkinPhx]

As I was pulling clothes out of the dryer the washing machine ended it's cycle. That doesn't happen often so that a good start to the day for me.

 

[CooCooforCoCoPuffs]

Woke to find my DH busy and happy with his little side business. Am happy he has something to keep his mind engaged.

We dodged a bullet with the winter storm. We only got about 4 inches of snow, and not too much ice. It is way easier getting through the next few frigid days without a foot of snow and ice everywhere.

 

[HermitHogan]

I've been feeling kind of dizzy for the past hour or so, so the best thing that's happened to me so far is, I haven't fallen.

Hopefully, it will pass. I think I'll go take a nap.

Are you dehydrated?

 

[CooCooforCoCoPuffs]

Finally killed this darn fly!
It has been buzzing around here since the warm days..three days ago.

Always feel bad when I do kill anything. I try to imagine the germs on the fly's feet is what am killing, not the fly.
Sadly, a shoot the vector, not the disease....scenario.

 

[HermitHogan]

Are you dehydrated?

I think I'm just old. I feel better after my nap.

 

[Ruthanne]

First, past days were not easy but at least I got my dog to take her pills. I've learned to be very creative in giving her meds.

My hay delivery came today before we get too much snow.

I unraveled another mystery re my great and grand parents +as to why they kept moving the sheep into Canada in 1923...

I took a small-bus ride about a year ago... woman driver, spoke excellent English with an accent. Turned out she is Swiss, and her mother tongue was Swiss-German. At one stop, I told her my maternal grandmother was from a sheep-herding region in Ticino, Switzerland. As the seasons changed, the driver told me, the Italians herded their sheep northward into the region where her family had their farm.

I just had my wife's chili for lunch for the second day in a row here at work.

That girl can cook.
