kat, just to say apropos of yesterday that I always read your TFTD and enjoy them -- it is just that I now read them two days later, or whenever. Which is similar to why I haven't been able to do the weekday versions, and can't say when they will rev back up again. But yours are always welcome.
I turned around in an autumnal woodlot by a field the other day where I had been quietly sitting watching the birds and came right face to face with a deer about 1 yard away -- hard to know whether she was more surprised than I was -- but I know who got away fastest -- zoom.
yours, Peter T.
