It's July 2nd and I am not hearing bottle rockets and firecrackers going off every five minutes. Weird! In a neighborhood like this, they usually start at the end of June and continue on through the end of summer. Weird, but nice.
It is very quiet with most of my immediate neighbors out at the lake, up north, or camping someplace. It feels kind of lonely, but it's exactly what I've been needing — a quiet weekend at home.
There was another deer in the yard today. I'm not sure it's the same one — too small. It's unusual, and so exciting in some way, but unfortunately they really like flowers and have eaten a lot of mine. It makes me wonder what happened to all the rabbits we used to have.
This is also my own personal independence day weekend. It's been 12 years since I left my marriage. Seems like a lifetime ago. And, in many ways it was.
Wow. Time sure does fly! Cool pic of the deer.
ReplyDeleteIn the world of mutual friends, i spent my holiday back in the great state of Michigan at Andy's wedding, where i saw a number of faces i haven't seen in many years.
