Motto, motto

A new motto:

Renounce what is useless, unnecessary, or unhealthy.

An old motto:

Do it right, and do it well.
My wife, daughter and I walked in the woods after dinner. My brother has a deer blind/ tree-house about ten feet up a tree, and we climbed up the rickety ladder. We looked over the woods, and my daughter yelled a bit.

I was first down, then my daughter and then my wife. I was walking on the thin trail that led from the tree house to the former potato patch when I froze.

I turned back to my daughter and told her to be very quiet and to move slowly.

Curled up in the grass was a little white-sp0tted fawn, about the size of a medium-sizedl dog. It didn't move, and just lay there blinking at us. Such a cute little nose, and such deep and beautiful black eyes!

We didn't stay long: I snapped a quick picture of it with my cell phone and we took off quietly.

It was my birthday dinner day, and I had seen something I had never seen before Gratitude for the experience, Lady Gaia, it was just what I wanted!
