Love This! I Should Post it in My Car.

 Good advice and should be given to ALL passengers who are in your car! 

 Oh.  Got the front end on the car fixed.  You may recall that its grill was loose and in danger so to speak as well as everywhere else it was attached.  Car still has that scuff mark way down at the bottom tthat the perp made when they hit my car.  Do you even KNOW what a body shop charges for a  paint touch up?  I asked for an estimate for the small (really) scrape I made on the back fender area when I cut too close to the fence post coming into my drive way!  $1781.00.  I need defibrillation after THAT!  I said I'd learn to love it.  When things calm down, I will call around other places to make an appt. to get an estimate. 

Hotter than whodunnit still.  Will it ever cool and will it ever stop raining?  

My boy (teacher) just returned from the Philippines.  His post card from several months ago just got here.  For pete sake!

Vishus Deer!

And vishus babies too.

I was on my way to the grocery again, and as I came around the corner a mom and her two spotted fawns were crossing the street.  The were slow about it, which I loved, and the babies just stopped to look at me.  Another car came too quickly up behind me but got slowed down in time. The babies walked slightly faster  then, and mom came up alongside of them.  They stopped and ate after they got off the roadway.  She was sightly reddish in color cast.   The babies were fully dappled.  SO pretty.  All of them.  By the way, I have come back and edited a lot of typos. 



Things like this always make me happier for the rest of the day.  Even just the does alone. But a little family...oh my.  

I stopped even trying to make a decent mustard potato salad some long time ago, but I happened on some in a grocery store a week ago and it was outstanding.  Bought me some more today.  Oh what a treat.  NOM. Oh, and I bought a dozen eggs...so-called large.  I opened them and substituted 5 eggs out of the box for the actual large ones in another and put the medium to small ones- into the vacated box! 

Have a problem with my car front end.  Someone either backed into it or front eneded it in a parking lot.  I saw it and made an appt. at a body shop.  He said the grille was also loose- and he make me up an estimate.  After when he was inquiring about my deduction ($1000.00) and showing me his estimate,  I saw I would be self- paying.  Won't kill me.  (Arrrrgghhhh) I would like to get it going though as I worry, not unreasonably  considering the look of it, that the whole shebang will fall off on the road. 

Have to go to the big  city tomorrow...wish me luck on the interstate with the loose front end.

Hm.

Gents and Ladies...another electrial storm...torrents of rain and drenched everything.  You ought to see the yard so over grown in just a week. 

When I did the blog yesterday, I was whining.  I edited that out.  Whew. 

This is her, sitting there counting her little toesies. Thinking.  

Anyway, this is the third week- going on the fourth- that it has stormed every day with drenching rain.  Flooding as well.  July is always wet here, but this has been past any July in rainfall and electrical storms in my memory.  Usually it was 5-6 inches for July,  We get that per day now just about.   

Oh I am buying bee guards for the feeders.  Talking about bees, I don't think these are honey bees.  I wonder if they are yellow jackets because they dart and fly fast.  Squirrels will likely pry off  the bee guards too. I can still hope.

Busy busy here.  Have a great week end.
