March SOL 13/31 -Surprise Passers-By

Yesterday, hubby was sitting in his chair and saw a flash go past the window and then another.

He got up and yelled at me.  Come look.  There's one, two, five, seven.... ten.  Oh my gosh, do you see them?  There's fifteen, no wait eighteen and finally twenty-three.  Running, following the leader.  In a hurry to go some place.  Running away from what?

They hunkered down to wait for everyone to catch up, then jump across the ditch, over the road and they were once again on the run.

A herd of deer crossed our yard - 23 in all.  Running, following. An amazing sight.  We have only seen one or two deer in this area, so it was unbelievable to see so many following each other.

No pictures, they were too quick and we were awe-struck.

    Wow! What a sight! It's always fun and amazing to see a small herd of a couple deer, but 23?!? That had to be an amazing sight! And that they were traveling together, waiting, watching. I wonder where they were headed. I wonder why the large size of the herd. I wonder what it would look like sitting in a car ... Thank goodness you were in the safety of your home!

    Judy, Isn't that something to have been able to witness such a sight. We have deer. Herds of them all the time. One day I watched two spotted young chasing each other much like a couple of dogs would do. It sure is special.

    I love how you sequence this slice so the commonplace becomes, abruptly, awe-inspiring.

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
