Critter Day - Part Two

So a few hours after the doe and her fawns were here, one of the bucks stopped by. Woody and Munchkin went out to say hello again.

My Sweet Little Visitors

My surprise visitors today, and a sweet little visit it was. They were curious but also very cautious about Woody coming out from under the deck to greet them. I'm guessing it was the first time they saw a cat. It was definitely the first time I saw them. I didn't think I was going to see any fawns this late in the summer. The doe was here too, but she went next door kind of quickly. The two little ones were too preoccupied to follow.

Munchkin and Boo

The pictures look a little bit lighter than it actually seemed outside last night. I had opened up the back door to call Boo to try and get her to come in, and was surprised by our friend here.

So then Munchkin ended up sneaking out while I had the door open, and wouldn't come in. Fifteen minutes or so went by and he still wasn't coming in, and I look out the window and a second buck had come along and Munchkin was in the yard between the two. He is so curious and somewhat fearless when it comes to other animals.

Then he and Boo were so tired from their adventures that they crashed together on the bed. They are so sweet together; I also took a video of them cleaning each other right before they went to sleep - I'll post that next time.

I finally did a little yard work tonight, and need to mow the lawn. I've been so wary of being out in the yard and being stung by the yellow jackets again that things are looking pretty ragged out there.

I've been sewing and am about half way through with a blouse for myself. I cleaned and oiled my sewing machine on Friday evening. It had been sitting inactive for almost three years so it really needed it. It's an approximately 30 year old Pfaff that is still going strong.

Lazy Sunday

Woody, Munchkin and Boo

The battle with the yellow jackets continues, and the cats decided to hang out inside this afternoon.

We got a little moisture this weekend, and if we had any thunderstorms like Seattle did, I unfortunately slept right through them.

Dress Appropriately, Please

I like this meme. I know this directive applies to both men and women, and believe me, there are definitely a lot of women that need to see this.

But today it's making me think of all the men that look like these two Wal-Mart shoppers. They make me wish it was illegal for men to be shirtless anywhere but the beach.

People of Wal-Mart

But if all men that decided to go bare looked like Ryan here, I'd probably be singing a different tune.

Internet Love and Hate Story, Part Two

Buck visited Monday night, August 5th

Today's posts are brought to you with thanks to Ryan from Comcast. Bless his heart, he totally rewired the cable on the outside of the house, and to the power pole this morning.

I took the day off from work, because the appointment was scheduled between 8-10 am. He tested everything in the house first and then went and took a look outside and asked me if there had been any updates to the cable that I was aware of. I've lived in the house for 15 years, before that Mark had lived in it since at least when mom died in 1985. I don't think anything has been updated since then. He said the cable was actually broken in some spots it was so old and worn out. He was amazed the internet had worked at all, but that definitely explains why I had trouble after less than a week.

I also rented a pick up truck today from Fountain Rental so I could take some stuff to Recomp. It always feels good to purge deadwood (so to speak). I also ran some errands around town that are not easy on the bus. Then I treated myself to a burger from Boomers, which I had been thinking about for months!

 I hadn't driven since I rented a car for one day September of last year, and I'm thinking that I need to start doing this every month or so, just to be able to get out and break the routine. There are so many places that I miss going now, that I used to just hop in the car and go when the mood struck me. It still kind of blows my mind that it has been a little over a year now since the car went kaput. 

Some kind of Hawk that was checking out the neighbor's chickens

Around the Corner Picnic - August 4th

The gang was kind of small this time for the Around the Corner Picnic. Denise, Tina, Jo, Dot, Glenn, Steve & Naomi and their grandson Chase and myself.

The food was good as usual, the weather turned out fantastic! (Not always the case) and we got our favorite spot under the tree.
And we teased Denise about her almost committing the major sin of not making the Hershey's Chocolate Cake ☺ Turns out the sin was just in her heart.

Fail Blog

It's amazing and entertaining that so many people either don't know how to spell or don't bother to check their spelling before they hit send....and are just plain stupid.
 

 

Dating, or Lack Thereof

I think this pretty much nails it on the head for me....
