Today in history

Walking

I have been attempting to get back to walking daily with very limited success.  But, at least I did make it out for good walks Friday and Saturday morning, leaving the house before daylight and making the top of Meek Hill by sunup at 7 am.  Today, it is just 34 degrees, so I am going to try to walk this afternoon.  During the week, it is hard to get started in the evening, but maybe today will be better.  It is supposed to be in the upper 60's this afternoon.

Just before sunrise this am, I saw a dark spot down by the corner fence going to son's house.  I got the camera and say a young deer.

I went down by the goat pen and took several more pics.

Even after I turned the goats out, the two deer hung around in the road.

They did not leave the road for the other pasture until I came back to the house because of the cold.  Just now, I see two down in the valley next to Marr's.  Could be the same two, or not.

Today, I have plan on cleaning up the old laptop.  I need to get a lot of pictures off it.  It is so full of files that it bearly works.  I have cleaned the house, now I guess I will clean the machine.

Yesterday, I took the kids to the movies and stopped by Home Depot and bought a new washer.  They are going to bring it out and install it for free on Dec. 6.  I plan on start teaching the kids to do their own laundry.  They are not enthused, but it will be good for them.  Yesterday, I had Hannah help wash the dishes.  She was not happy, but she did it.  My job is to help these two kids learn to live in the world without me, one step at a time.  Robert says he is too big to sit on  my lap.
