Out for a Morning Stroll.....

Good Morning Friends! As I was digging and weeding in the front yard I noticed a beautiful deer walking down the street, slowly and peacefully, just having a morning stroll. I was able to retrieve my camera before it came to be in front of my yard. So I sat on the front porch and waited for it to make it's way down the road. Just as I snapped this photo, the neighbors herd dogs came running out lickety-split and chased it into the conservation park below our home. The deer was running and leaping with its tail straight up in the air! It was so wonderful to see. Between yesterday and today I have planted 36 flowers and mowed the 2 acres of grass! This was my first mowing, hubby has been doing it, and I am so sore! By the end of the fall, I will be in Great shape I'm certain. Blessings to you dear friends, enjoy the moment!

Isn't is funny how you can, out of the blue, recall things from childhood that you haven't thought of in forever? This morning as I was out in the yard searching for the perfect snapshot for my Sunday morning blog, those words came into my mind. When I was young I remember my mom used to use that phrase all the time. She would wake me up with those words, and continue to say them throughout the day. And at 81 she is still saying them. I wonder if, when she wakes up in the morning, those are the first words that come into her mind? Blessings~
