The Deer Roam Free

My husband's brother and family live in a small town a few miles from us.  Their property backs up to a large park, so this is a normal sight in their yard.

When we were leaving a few nights ago, there were two deer in the yard just past the driveway, two more in the yard across the street, and we spotted several more as we left the neighborhood. 

The deer roam free

In our town

Beware the deer

At sundown

When darkness falls

And shadows flee

In our town

The deer roam free

Fortunately, they also come out during the afternoons for photo ops.  Hubby got this with his cell phone.  The deer rarely make an appearance like this when I'm there with my camera.

 If we all did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves. 
 -Thomas A. Edison 

As a scientist, inventor and businessman, Edison is responsible for over one thousand U.S. patents.  Home schooled by his mother, his work advanced communication, the motion picture camera, the light bulb and the concept of mass production.

Imagine if he had said "I can't do that" in his process of invention.  We may not be famous inventors, but we are all capable of amazing things.  Just say "Yes, I can!"

A Wine Weekend

Ten people in five cars visit seven wineries in three days.   

Rain, fog, misty clouds hung low made for slow go round and round the mountain. 

A blast that passed too fast.  

Good food set the mood for our eclectic brood.   

Good friends and good wine equals good times.  

Cheers to all wine lovers everywhere.

Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.  - Maori Proverb

As our shadows fall behind us, we can better see all the good that life has to offer, so turn your face to the sun and make the most of each day.
