Deer Sunday

Happy Sunday.  So, on this Labor Day weekend,  we spent the days working. It was getting late today, and I was still moving mulch from one pile to another and then spreading it, ane I was getting tired - I mean really tired.  It was then that my partner came up bringing my camera and told me about a doe and her two fawn next door.  I got my camera out of the bag and almost immediately, there they were.  The mama here stopped to take a look at me to make sure I meant no harm.  She was satisfied and she and her babies crossed the street   You see, I live in a neighborhood.  There are very many houses nearby.  And, there are more and more houses being built nearby taking out the trees and land that once was their home.  I am grateful to see more deer around here, but I hate that their homes are being lost to "progress".

I hope that you didn't have to labor too much this weekend.  I hope you had a wonderful Sunday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Early Monday

I awakened early this morning still feeling warm and fuzzy from yesterday's kayaking trip.  As I went through all the pictures (again) it was so hard to choose just one for today.  (I want to warn you, there may be more photos from my kayaking trip as we go through the week.)   This photo, though, reminds me of how yesterday felt, so beautiful and full of promise.   It's as if I'm being told that progress is being made, the days that were so bleak are coming to an end and new growth is on its way.   Wouldn't it be nice to see Mondays that way - like it's a day for progress and promise?  I want to look at this Monday with that attitude.  I want to bring my very best to this day (as I should every day) and to see my future as bright and promising as this beautiful budding tree.  I hope that you will join me in having a wonderfully delightful Monday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.
