Well..., yesterday afternoon turned off pretty nice..., at least it wasn't raining anyway. While I was cleaning up horse manure I found that the crab apple tree had shed a large amount of those nickel and dime size apples..., so I raked them up with with the leaves so Charley Horse wouldn't over indulge himself on them. Later..., as the daylight was fading I see a couple of deer out there looking for the ones I missed..., and Charley saw the deer too. I guess the zoom function on the camera doesn't work in the motion picture mode..., you have to look pretty close to see the deer..., and the one deer made a nice jump over the fence dividing the North and South 40's when a car came up the driveway and spooked the deer..., and Charley. Charley finally gave up trying to run the deer off..., maybe he isn't as fond of those little apples as I thought.
I guess that there won't be any problem deciding which team to root for in the World Series..., since the Mariners didn't make the cut..., the Dodgers are my team now. I was a little worried this morning with the wind and rain..., thinking that we might have a power outage. Yeah..., a few 30+ mph wind gusts and 1.8 inches of rain before noon today. It quieted down considerably this afternoon and I didn't have to suit up in the rain gear to get the chores done..., and the one deer that came back today left a lot of those little apples on the ground for me to pick up. Now I am ready to kick back with some cold beer and watch the ballgame.
