Sense of humor can be a distraction.
I attended live stream Mass this morning. It was a beautiful mass. Father Ryan as usual gave an informative, inspirational homily. When he spoke about Moses and some of those who were not chosen but still preached he had my interest. Then the names Eldad and Medad were mentioned and all I could envision were the Blues Brothers! I tried to get my mind back on track but it was hopeless. So sorry. I am pitiful!
Doe and twins
Had a Doe visit a few days ago. Stayed quite a while, came back the next morning, ate some berry bushes then left. Now the fun part. Returned later with twins. Not newborn but pretty young. Spots were so bright and beautiful.
No deer have been around for quite some time. I was very excited when a buck stopped and visited the back yard, Later in the day Mike spotted it laying in the woods. I was unable to see it even with binoculars.
Next day the buck returned and slowly the entire family were in the yard. They ate some Oregon grape leaves and other weeds. Then the buck came closer and seemed to be staring at me begging for food.
I had some apples I was going to toss and threw out 4. The deer ate them in one bite so I tossed a few more etc. When I stopped tossing, the buck came closer and stared at me.
I decided to stop and they began munching on grass, leaves and unidentified weeds.
It was so great to see them together. Usually it is the doe and fawns but seldom is the buck with them, He usually is alone.
It makes me wonder where they stay? Is there a pattern to where they travel?
Wish I knew but it is fun to view then if only for a few hours.
It was so noisy during the night that I was almost afraid to look out the windows this morning.
I went out on the deck to check out the Christmas decorations. Everything still in tact.
Then I walked to the end of the deck and checked out the buildings. O.K.
In the back yard a limb was standing upright in the grass. Several dead trees were topped. This is no doubt why it was so noisy. The power of nature. I haven't checked the driveway as yet but hope it is clear.
One year we had a tree go down right across the driveway. I had to miss practice at the cathedral. Dr. Savage rather liked the excuse.
Two raccoons in back yard this morning. I saw one run across the deck railing a few months ago but it must've been a young one,
These two were huge. They ran across the yard and down the trail like they were being chased but I didn't see any other creature.
