Another 2 Inches

More rain, or thunderstorms last night.  As I went out to check the gauge I noticed my Sweet Broom plant.  I had a couple of these.  Two years ago I had to pull one, it died from the drought.  Now this one has turned brown in one day.  I assume it's root rot.  They usually do pretty well in dry weather.  We have had NO dry weather.  I'll give it a week or so then out it comes.

There is a big crop of fawns.  One doe appears to have had triplets.  Very unusual.  Mostly they have one or two.  Although the third may have been another doe's fawn.  They don't seem to mind feeding one other than their own at times.  I've seen that happen.

One of the fawns has taken to staying in the flower bed just outside our front door.  It has been there almost every day this week.  We have windows there that go almost to the floor.  This is great fun for Buster.  Not so much for the windows.  Can you say puppy snot?  

You can just make out the fawn just to the left of Buster's reflection.  Didn't want to disturb the fawn so this is as good as you get.

 

He can see that fawn, it is so close he can nearly lick it.  At first he whined and scratched at the window sill.  He wanted so bad to do whatever he had in mind with that fawn. Most of the time he just lays by the window intently watching his little buddy.  We always know when the Mom shows up, he lets us know.  He has seen so many I think he thinks they are just there for him to play with, I don't think he would hurt it. 

Kim had worked with her original resort to change her schedule since she wouldn't be allowed to sell her wares, just her crafts.  It was an effort to split up her long Saturday at two resorts.  This split schedule would be just for the summer when they had more vacationing guests.  They were agreeable to that arrangement and even added and additional day for her.  She would go Monday and Friday for the Summer leaving Saturday for the resort where she is able to sell her wares.  Well that all changed last weekend before the Summer even started.  They told her they were expecting her the Friday prior to Memorial Day and Memorial Day.  Not good, no one was there Friday and everyone was so anxious about the flooding they didn't even notice her on Monday.  They messed up the schedule.  Now she has gotten an email saying they would cut out her Monday.  No explanation, maybe they saw that she had no business.  This is before the Summer crowd has even arrived.  She feels like the relationship, that has always been stellar, is on shaky ground.  She has been trying to just go with the flow.  Now this move has tweaked her.  She says she will have to talk with them, might just go back to Saturday, one weekday won't cut it.  The person that is doing this has not been consistent with anything she has done working with Kim.  She is new there and so are all the others that have any dealings with her.  It's a whole new way of doing business.  They all seem to want to do things their way regardless of how things were done in the past.  Reinventing the wheel so to speak.  She has been advised about these people by a long time employee she knows well, it's not good.  This may not go well.  Kim will be her sweet self as usual, not sure about the person she is dealing with.  Maybe it's time to move on.

Happy Trials
