Wildlife

 One Saturday morning I let Gibbs out and sat down with my computer and cup of coffee. He started he usual barking craze which always makes me crazy. I went to the door to bring him in before the neighbors got annoyed. That's when I realized what he was barking at. 

Three deer were running through my back yard. They stopped in the empty lot next to my house and turned around to check us out for a minute. Of course my phone was sitting inside and I knew I wouldn't have time to go get it.

Later that morning I took a picture of the empty lot 

Then I asked AI to put the 3 deer in it for me.

They weren't really that close. They were closer to the road but you get the idea. I was amazed that they were running through town. In all the years I've lived here I have never spotted them in town. 

Men at work

 That's rather questionable because I only saw one of them measure something on the ground which took all of a couple minutes. Then the group stood around for a quite some time talking

The funny thing is that they will talk about how women sit around gabbing but these guys could definitely give any woman a run for her money in the gabbing deptartment

I never did see where they eventually went. Apparently I was actually working while their little gab session ended.

Again with the food

 I told you before that I do food prep on the weekends. My latest was to bake some blueberry pancakes in an 8x8 pan

I used a pancake mix and threw in some blueberries. I can't remember how long I baked it for but I know it took longer than what I had originally set it for. I cut this into 4 pieces. I took one to work and microwaved it for 45 seconds. The other 3 I put into freezer bags for another day. I probably could have cut this into smaller pieces because a 1/4 of this was a lot and I was stuffed by the time I finished it.

A surprise from Amanda

 So I was sitting at home on a weekend evening. I'm trying to think of what I'm going to make myself for dinner. It may be peanut butter and jelly because that's pretty much all I have the ambition for.

Then in walks Amanda and she says she brought me something. 

Chili on the right and homemade apple crisp on the left.

Well the peanut butter and jelly was definitely put on the back burner and this was dinner. I was tempted to eat the apple crisp before the chili but I showed a bit on constraint.

Such a thoughtful daughter. Thanks Amanda.
