It's Funny Friday
Well, it wasn't exactly dancing, but more like sitting in the moonlight. In the wee small hours Molly came and woke me up - this is very unusual so I knew it was probably a "potty" call.
We were just coming off the full moon, I believe they called it "supermoon" and the moonlight filled the family room, spilled unto the deck and cast tall shadows of the trees in the yard. Of course Jessie had to get in on the fun too, so out we went. It was beautiful, the girls ran down into the yard, Jessie began barking and I knew there was an animal in the woods, but what I was about to see and hear was truly a gift from Heaven.
Molly was busy poking around so I sat down on the deck steps, from there I can see up my neighbor's driveway to his mailbox column. I saw movement, silent movement, the void of sound made this magical, and there I saw 2 deer, the one was just moving out of my range of vision but the other one, a doe, stood there looking across the yard, just staring at me. I sat there motionless, by this time hubby came out to see what we were doing outside, Jessie went inside and Molly was very quiet just enjoying walking in the cool, wet grass. It was chilly and I was glad I had grabbed my jacket before going outdoors.
We just enjoyed that beautiful sight, the doe was still standing watching us and hubby called my attention to the "noise" in the woods next to our house, our bedroom is situated on the west end of the house and right along the house we have a deer path, it's been their "route" for years. It wasn't deer walking over snapping twigs, it was them munching on tender branches, it was so quiet that we could hear them eating vegetation.
In this little corner of my world we live in very quiet surroundings, there is no traffic, so I am very use to hearing nothing during daylight hours except birds singing, an occasional airplane flying overhead or a distant lawn mower - that is our "noise" and I am very spoiled. At night there is total silence.
Oh, Molly says, "and that blasted UPS truck which I can hear long before Mom can and I have to bark, telling it to "keep the noise down". Woof.
I don't know how long I sat in the moonlight but I just didn't even want to blink my eyes in fear of missing more of my beautiful surroundings. We are truly blessed.
Blessings, have a wonderful weekend.
Oh, I almost forgot - this "is" Prudence's Blog....

Hi Everybear....

Mom says she can tell by my "jokes" that I am growing impatient. Growing impatient? Heck, I'm there now, Mom.
Our new treasure box is almost finished, I think Mom will have it posted during the week.
Heaps of Hugs ♥
