With everything that's going on . . .

. . . RFK, Jr.; Trump indictments; etc., etc. . . . sometimes we just need to stop and recognize that normal life goes on.

It's now 2:00 AM, Friday, July 21 and I just ate a whole pint of Ben & Jerry's "Cherry Garcia" ice cream!!

And later today I'm planting 100 periwinkle plants.

Two days ago Sweet Thing and I were walking down our road and encountered three spotted fawns about 1/4 mile from our place.

The Andromeda Galaxy is high in the east and Jupiter just broke the eastern horizon.

1. We had a doe wander onto our property at the bottom of the hill a few days ago.

Two days later she returned… followed a few minutes later by a magnificent buck! With very handsome antlers.

All I wanted to do was run down the hill to pet them but they wouldn’t have stuck around. So I stayed up on our deck in silence and just watched - ENTHRALLED!!!

Just totally BEYOND thrilling!!!

3. We do tend to get caught up in things

Doom scrolling.

I'm heading out soon for some lower back physio. When I return after lunch I'll spend time looking sexy for my wife, ironing and laundry.
Looks like a Biergarten dinner tonight.

5. Coincidence! I had half of one of the B&J Cherry Garcia mini servings yesterday before bed

Yummm...yes & the earth is still spinning on its axis. I'm trying to tune out of the news as much as i can so i can focus on my day to day responsibilities. Lookong fwd to spending my w/e @the inlaws' beauitful ranch & see their lovely expansive garden for more tuning out.

6. Well...

It's about an hour later now and all I know is that the wind is howling and Jupiter is up but it's orange. Going to be a hot and smoky day.

[Think. Again.]

7. Sometimes I think...

...that maybe just carrying on as if nothing important is happening isn't such a good idea after all...
