Hey guys!!

Nothing really going on here. Daughter sprained her ankle really bad and is out of soccer for now.
My son is driving and it scares the crap out of me!
He did his first freeway driving over the weekend and it was about 30 miles and 3 different freeways.
I know I have few more grey hairs!

I made chocolate chip banana bread this morning.
Can you smell it?

I’m pretty sure that this is Gracie in my dog pen.
For those of you who don’t know, Gracie was an orphan fawn I had rehabbed last year. She was never a captive deer. I bottle fed her for a couple months and she stayed freely until one day she didn’t:) She was a year old this past May. She’s come back to visit a few times and I can always tell her from the other deer visitors because she comes into the yard while the others hang back in my pasture. She brought friends with her and I spotted them bedded down on my beach area last night. One of the others followed her into the dog yard but stayed by the fence. She came on up and greeted her canine siblings and they knew her:) As a fawn, she played chase with them. I think dove season has them taking advantage of my safe haven!

Awww, how cute!

Hi Kathy, that looks delicious!
Hope your daughter recovers and is back on the pitch soon.
As for your son driving I suppose all you can do is keep letting his tyres down so that he can't take the car!
Hopefully he is sensible but I understand your worry and wish him years of safe and trouble free driving.

That's lovely I'm sure they never forget when they've been well treated.

Sorry I'm interjecting into this post but in our state...if you poke holes in a paint can and the paint dries up. It's not considered hazardous anymore. California might be different.
Trouble is it takes ages to dry up and even when dried it could get washed into the soil with rain.

Good news, roommates! My Charlotte is back!

She strategically chose to be by the kitchen door now, clever girl. (Yeah, not having a pet sucks...)
I have a spider that continually weaves a large web across the door to my garden. I often forget it's there and It usually gets destroyed when I go out but the next day it's there again! His persistence must pay off for him to choose that spot.
When I do remember and duck under it, people must wonder why I bend to come out of my door!:)
