Deer and More Work

One of the places we went while out the other day was to the Columbia Nursery and Florist which is just down the road from us. Josie wanted to drop off a resume in case they ever needed seasonal help, especially for Valentine's Day that is just next week. She received a phone call from them yesterday asking if she could work on Thursday through Sunday next week. That was a pleasant surprise. They discussed some details yesterday, but they needed to finalize everything today. One of the things we need to do is make sure we can clear those days from her schedule here. Bill will most certainly accommodate any schedule she needs. That is one thing we were counting on for extra cash when we went into this adventure - Josie getting work at local flower shops during holidays. That also allows her to keep up her skills without getting burned out. More about that tomorrow.

While sitting at the computer yesterday, I watched outside the window as some deer came down - almost to our door - grazing in the grass. There have been one or two that we have seen since we arrived here but yesterday the whole family showed up. Below is one of the pictures of the family:


There are six deer in the picture above, but I got this shot of one that wasn't quite sure about this new "rig" that showed up in their yard:


The site we are on is in a good place to see the deer since it is surrounded by trees and grass and is more remote than most sites. They aren't bashful at all.

Today is our last "free" day before our work schedule begins tomorrow. The schedule has us working 8 hour days from Thursday - Saturday this week. We have gotten a little spoiled with all this free time we've had...
