The garbage under the sink was starting to stink. If guests were here, I’d’ve dealt with it a while back but it was just meeee so I waited until it was full enough that I could combine it with the other garbage bag into the Green Bag and take the whole smelly mess up to the Green Bag Dump on the res.
I did do that today and I was driving on the west side of Birch Point Loop. It’s a road my grandfather and his friends originally built – or so I’ve been told – but now it’s a nice paved county road. I *think* the speed limit on that part of the road is 35 but it isn’t marked and I don’t really know. But there are walkers and bikers around and I don’t drive very fast. I mean, usually I’m just going to the park store or the dump and there’s no reason to rush because neither of those places are that far away.
Today I was slow-poking along and there was something running/walking/whatever in the road ahead of me so I slowed way down. It was this deer. A doe? I think. No antlers. I was in no danger of hitting it. It was standing there just off the left side of the road. I actually passed it, then I stopped and looked back. It was still there. I s-l-o-w-l-y backed up (not usually a lot of vee-hicular traffic on this road). It was STILL standing there when I got backed up. So I was able to fumble my phone and windows, etc., to get a halfway decent pic.
Sorry but that’s about as exciting as it gets around here. Oh, there was some rumbly thunder in the late afternoon along with some faaarworks over in the direction of the res and a weeeee bit of rain.

Even though I’ve seen zillions of them and they can be a nuisance, I still find deer adorable. However, the cougar that someone spotted in my town–not so adorable!
