7) Serial story-writing the Case of the Missing Fig Leaf and The Whitechapel Interlude

We get some small wildlife, but not usually deer. They still fascinate me. Love your list.
Thanks, M.
Aw-w – look at baby Una :) For sure a thankful.
And so many deer in your yard. Cool.
#’s 3-7 are an excellent reminder of how great this thing the internet thing is. Its ability to connect people from all over is awesome indeed. I am very thankful for all the people in your list and everyone else that I’ve met through writing in this online community. Yup. Technology has its major +’s :)
small dog, empty winter’s beach
this is true
Wow! Phyllis doesn’t need to worry about socially distancing on that beach! A mess ‘o deers, I guess! What was on the menu?
hard to see in the photo*, but this would have been the late winter when Una arrived from the Czech Republic. Of our dogs, Una is the only one who was not overly impressed by the ocean. Or any water, for that matter. she has long hair and has never been comfortable getting wet.
*our black-on-black dog who defies definition
How wonderful to return to the sweet simplicity of the things that make your life good! I envy you both that lovely stretch of uncrowded beach, and deer in the yard almost magical. Here we have ground squirrels, rabbits, way too many doves, and the occasional roadrunner or coyote. I am so thankful to have had a part in promoting both TToT and 6SS, great places to meet up and share with awesome folks!
Agree on the matter of being near the ocean, but roadrunners?!?!
a childhood dream!
Just emailed you some pix of our roadrunners! 😊
That’s quite the herd of lawn-mowers, as my dad would say.
Dear me! There are a lot of deer!!
