Upside Down, Nose to The Ground

I was talking to my Dad in New Brunswick a while ago and asked him about the dear situation. My niece sent photos and I heard many stories this winter of deer gathering in fields. The photos are from March, of a harvested cabbage field near Sussex. The snow in the woods was very deep this winter and deer were forced to stay outside. Dad says there are still a lot of deer visible in fields wherever they go. Though there isn't any on fields now, snow disappears from the woods last. Check out the body position of the deer near center in the top photo. Isn't that hilarious?

Another sunny, cool day. Very nice but you need a jacket or sweater, a tee shirt if you're a teenager or trying to prove something. Brrr. I did more gardening and am heading out again. Scallops for dinner tonight. I'm enjoying all the fish but miss The Son too. Heard through his sister that they were eating in a restaurant in Holland that he and she had eaten in when they were there before. I think my other son is heading to Europe this week too. If so and they overlap time they are not overlapping location.

I first think of Home on the Range by Megan Mullally from Will and Grace. Got that and then there's Buffalo Girl by Chris Bathgate. Got that. Instead how about two that you'll say, "Is this from Cuidado?" Bowie and Massive Attack with Nature Boy and Walk In the Woods by Shipwreck. What can I say?

Foxes

I had a great experience today. I was having car work done and a friend and I went on several walks on the trail near her house. Someone had told her about a foxes den in view from the trail. We found it and I got several photos. There are several mounds of topsoil which contain numerous holes and tunnels to make this an excellent den. The mother was very wary and when I got a little close, she barked and her kits instantly went inside. I cropped/enlarged the photo to get a view, as I was quite far away.

I have to get rear brakes and a new muffler to pass my inspection. Drats! It is possible my muffler is under warranty still. Yeah! Between houses and cars, maintenence is very expensive. I am soon getting a new roof which is quoted at almost eight thousand dollars. Drats!

I can't think of any songs I have about foxes but I have Buffalo Girl by Chris Bathgate. It will have to do for music today. The Theme from Northern Exposure can make you think of foxes as well, or wildlife anyway. Here it is, song number ninety-nine, by David Shwartz.

The Twelfth coincidence: Two brothers killed by the same taxi driver, one year apart
In 1975, while riding a moped in Bermuda, a man was accidentally struck and killed by a taxi. One year later, this man's bother was killed in the very same way. In fact, he was riding the very same moped. And to stretch the odds even further, he was struck by the very same taxi driven by the same driver - and even carrying the very same passenger!
