Deer and my Dear

I got up at a more normal time this morning, and was greeted by two white tailed deer out in the next door field probably 200 or 300 yards out.  I only saw them because of their very slight movement and their very starkly white tails in a huge field of brown.  I tried to take a picture of them, but I doubt you can see them here.  They were straight out by the tree line.  I'm very sure they saw me before I saw them.

I was mostly lazy the rest of the morning.  By midday, I started picking up on activity.  I had a date to organize with my wife and a movie night with the family.  We're shooting for opening night of Hunger Games.  It definitely appears doable at this point, but getting reservations through the web site is proving frustrating.  I'll just have to call in tomorrow.

I walked Etsy around the farm today.  She was particularly interested in a few of the wood piles.  I later moved the kitties into my room.  It was also a good excuse to clean my room.  I pretty much threw things around willy-nilly when I got here and never actually cleaned things up.  Now that J is on her way here, it was another excuse to clean the room.

The kitties seem happy to have the company.  They've been their very social selves since I transferred them.

My wife J called and said that she had finally graduated from the last of her training, finished her room check out, and was already on the road to get back to Indiana.  So exciting!  I can't wait to see her!

On Etsy's second walk, I noticed a lot of waxy blue flowers that I swear were not there yesterday.  I think every other day, a different type of flower blooms just from the yard.  I think Spring has sprung in Indiana.

C and R invited me to have mexican food with nieces J and A.  I got to learn about J's day at kindergarten, and A discussed how people should always allow other people to finish their food...or something like that.  We also got to see 15 ranked Norfolk State defeat 2 ranked Missouri in one of the opening rounds of the NCAA Basketball Final Four tournament.

J and I talked on the phone for at least three hours during her travel back.  Due to getting stuck in traffic in Atlanta, she might not make it to Indiana tonight.  If I don't see her tonight, I'll see her tomorrow morning.  It was so nice to talk to her for such a long period of time.  I really look forward to seeing her soon.
