On the day after Snowmageddon 2010 I was supposed to be helping Claudia clean her room. Instead I was taking pictures out of her bedroom window.
I was taking pictures of icicles when Ian walked in and said “Is that a bear?”
The kids thought I was taking pictures of the large mammal in our back yard that I hadn’t even noticed.
I yelled “Hey Gabe! There is a huge doe in our back yard!”
And that is when Claudia fed me the line. She said “What is a doe?”
I got to say – completely in context and with absolute accuracy – “A deer, a female deer.”
Fabulous! That is joy that I can completely understand.
Oh, look — a ray! A ray of golden sun!
Looks like you could use a “ray” or two to melt that ridiculous amount of snow!!
I LOVE it! Reminds me of the time someone spilled a drink on me and I was able to say: “Drink up everyone — the wine’s on me.”
Did you stay inside and drink some Ti?
I like William’s comment.
Today I’m planning to
sew, a needle pulling thread!
That’s the coolest reason for a setup ever. We’ve had lots of critters in our yard, but never a doe. Or a deer.
I’m such a softy. All I could think was “Awww, she’s hungry, throw her some veggies”
..and the doe was standing in ray, a drop of golden sun.
What do you call yourself?
Seen this?
