Woke up this morning and looked out the window...

I had to rub my eyes because I saw a couple of deer in the neighbor's yard...that's not unusual but one of them was brown and white and looked like a COW.  I kept staring and it was NOT a cow, I have never seen one of these deer and I was fascinated.  Seems they are called piebald deer and since it comes from a recessive gene, both parents have to be carriers.  It did kind of flip me out.  I could not get a picture so I got this one on line and it looks EXACTLY like the one in the yard.  It was a young deer and was accompanied by several adults and another deer about the same size.piebald deer.jpg

I was supposed to take my husband to the doctor this afternoon but, just as we were leaving...literally outside the door, the phone rang and it was the doctor's office.  They cancelled the appointment because icing caused them to lose power.  Not smoking over it but certainly am aggravated.  I have not slept well in two days worrying about this stupid appointment. She is going to call back later and let me know when she can reschedule him...YAY.

Have a delightful smokefree day.

Love,

Ellen
