Good 45º drizzly morning. Thought we'd have had more rain than
we got. Sounded like it, but no. Only about 1/4".
Looks like rain for the next couple days ...
Yesterday at 4:30pm...
While I was out there this little deer was munching away..
With the new lens I have ordered I will get better close ups! This one goes to 270mm and the new one will go to 600mm! I can photograph the freckle on their nose!
Christmas! 5 days!!!
I was looking at FB and found this:
This woman, Margaret Kean, was an artist whose paintings had
big eyes. They were famous but her husband took the credit for making the
paintings! Tim Burton made a film about her, coming out Christmas Day. It's
called 'Big Eyes'. I want to see it!
OK, now this made me drool
immediately...

Saturday football:
After my Wal-Mart shopping yesterday I didn't get much else
done. Dinner, wine, and some Blue Bloods shows. Then before I got up this
morning some WEIRD dreams. Michael Jackson was in one! He was wearing bright
orange shorts and matching socks. No shirt, but only saw him from the back. Then
had a dream that old friend, Terry da Pully (Polly) who was Jerry's pal and the
station mechanic at Temple was in jail! What???? But the weird thing was he
could move the bars back and forth. They were like on sliding doors. The guy in
the cell next to him had a bunch of birds. Beyond bizarre. Then their cells were
moved to the other side of the building out on a big driveway.
Sigh........
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Saturday.
