Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

So a huge buck reminds you of me.? I'm honored :gig

This evening, I saw for the second time a small piebald deer, very close to albino, but i did see some brown on its head. It sticks out like a sore thumb in a small patch of woods between two roads. Been in the same spot both times I've seen it.
Nope don't remind just think how you are off in the woods in a tree stand and the deer is just strolling around the hay field . :lau
 
I'm still at a bit of a loss for what to do for Thanksgiving. It will just be the 4 of us, and maybe our elderly neighbor... I could just do one of those Costco Turkey breasts, except our neighbor likes the skin and the -what does she call it.. oh yeah, the "pope's nose". So it's gotta be a regular bird. I need motivation, though. Just not feeling it this year.




The years where its just us here are THE BEST! We can take our time lounging around in our jammies & arent rushed making dinner. Theres no pressure, so theres extra time to make stuff from scratch & you can just go lay down without having to entertain anybody... The years where we have people here are the years I buy all the stuff pre-done instead of making it & none of us enjoy the holiday or the food as much as when theres nobody here. Plus no crowd means extra leftovers! :thumbsup



I think we are going with lemon meringue this year. Banana cream and pumpkin chiffon are regulars, a caramel apple and a peach pecan have been popular as well. I did a German chocolate pie a couple years ago that was good. I might have issues with how much I like pie...


You & me both! :highfive:



...I don't like pie :oops:

It's a texture thing, can't stand the texture.



Wha.... :th I get all of Pyxis' pie! :wee



So.... I guess I kinda have 4 basic options:
1-Release the other 2 (female woodie, probable male teal) in hopes that they find their friends, or go on to make other friends?
2-Or do I try to acquire more?
3-Or just keep these 2 and try my luck at "semi-taming" them?
4-I could also try taking them to my farm pond and releasing them there..



I vote keep them. At least for a while & maybe reevaluate after you've gotten to know them better. Its probably not a good idea to decide while you're still reeling from the experience with the others. :hugs



But guess what I have discovered? The picture of the teals came from a website, possibly the place she bought them (logo was cropped out), but I was kinda led to believe they were her pictures. I'm still searching for the other photo online somewhere....


:mad: This makes me a little angry. Maybe she wasn't up to any kind of subterfuge, but theres something that feels a little shady about that (maybe just my city girl paranoia shining thru? :oops:)



So did yall hear ole crazy Charlie Manson died? What a psycho.



I cant believe we had to feed & house that effer for almost 50yrs. :mad:



not sure that's the way to approach mental illness, however horrifically the consequences of the symptoms may be - j/s :) (how's about that for some namby-pamby liberal stuff :D)


The mental health experts believed that he wasn't mentally ill & was just really good at faking it as another facet of manipulation. He was obliviously bat scat crazy, but was it really mental, or drug induced or just evil. Who knows, but as a CA resident, I'm not happy paying food & rent for any of his clan. I gotta side with Shaw & BYC here.



Don't feel bad, I am lucky to get 2 eggs a day from my AC pen and my Silkie pen... NOBODY else is laying... :th



I'm loving you're AC pic in the calendar! I just wish it wasn't placed where it was. :hmm
