But there's something sweet about looking out in my back yard this evening, just as the snow was beginning, and seeing this
Then I noticed he had brought some buddies. There were five in all. What I wouldn't give for a telephoto lens...
Well, hello there! (If you look just to the right of the big tree, you'll see our sap collector.)
All righty, then, See Ya! Stay warm!
A little later I picked Susannah up from a friend's house and on the way home we saw a turkey right in the middle of the road. How fun is that?
I had to call Lily and tell her, because the last time I was at her house I taught her, much to her mama's chagrin, that little silly thing, "There was a stinky skunk in the middle of the road. I one it." "I two it." "I three it." "I four it." ... back and forth until one of you says "I eight it" and then you crack up. "You ATE the SKUNK??" It's hilarious entertainment, really, especially if your buddy is an enormously precocious and spunky three-year-old.
(I also taught her the one where you say a color or a type of metal and the other person has to say they're that kind of key -- "gold" "I'm a gold key" "silver" "I'm a silver key" "brass" "I'm a brass key"...
Then you sneak in "tur" ... "I'm a tur key." Ha Ha Heee hee hooo..... "You're a turkey!")
It's so much fun being a Mimi. And living where I do, with all the nature and yes, even the snow.

ah, I wish I could see deer in my back yard. The closest I get to wildlife is spiders. And the occasional stray pooch. Especially since Cassiedog appears to be no more.
I liked being linked to and that my children are referenced in your last post. As well they should be.
Awww that is so sweet. I love deer. My in-laws get wild turkeys in their yard all the time. It is SO funny! You seeing one in the middle of the road...reminds me of "Why did the turkey cross the road?" LOL!
no good for you - i have been living in capris and flip flops. funny how you wish you had what you don't ... ie - i would like to have snow! just one day of snow. but instead, the flowers are blooming and the trees are already budded. Sweaters have been packed away for quite some time now. Most days finds me in short sleeves or a tank top. this is not my kind of winter! Wanna trade?
