After a long absence, I'm finally back and hoping to get back into writing. I think this is a good place to start.

Goal: 50+ words tomorrow, or I should say today. It's 12:33am.

Was at a relative's for a July 4th barbecue and a fawn wandered around the small backyard curiously. It has been living in that very wild yard with much tall goldenrod to hide among and now wanted to check us out. We did not make any motions toward it and it finally decided to go hide again. And we are not doing any stupid hand feeding. Its mama was out grazing and would be back to check on baby shortly. The deer in that neighborhood are very savvy and pay attention to traffic, so this fawn is no orphan. But it was adorable.

Pulled up some wild blackberry and sticker vine today.  Man, I hate that stuff.   :evil2:

We have a lot of them--I've also rescued some babies (they are so cute).
We've had a bounty of cucumbers and tomatoes so made dill pickles and salsa. Pictures on the blog.

We just saw two big box turtles on our driveway after a rainstorm! Two at once. Woo-hoo!

(Maybe some baby turtles in our future? I saw one here a few years ago--had not seen one in decades. What a thrill that was.)


It's been a long time since I've seen a box turtle, too.  When I was a child, we'd find one every now and then, usually lurking under or near an azalea.  I miss seeing them.  But there are species here that I never saw as a boy, so I guess it balances out.

Well, speak of the devil, I guess; I saw the first dragonfly of the season on Sunday afternoon.  Nice to know there's at least one around.

There's also a garden spider--Argiope aurantia, a.k.a. writing spider, a.k.a. zig-zag spider--in the yard.  Some folks on the internet have mentioned that the invasive Joro seems to have displaced the native garden spider on their properties, and that was a concern of mine, too.  So seeing this one is a nice sign.  Perhaps the two species can coexist after all.
