{{{Paulie}}} Got to thinking about you as I was turning in for the night. And, thought I'd send an early Friday morning greeting your way.

 No apologies necessary. Every now and then life's troubles seem to over flow. It's those times that having others to chat with helps.
 Families are as diverse and nations of the world. Squabbles are bound to happen. And, they are tiresome to the point one is emotionally drained.
But, in the end things work out and everyone loves  one another and always will.  Keeping you close in  prayer  and thought.
Phyl, Awww Thank you about no apology and for thinking about and sending an early Friday morning greeting and wisdom.

Very true about having others to chat with helps. It did last night. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

So far today family has been good and getting along. I just remembered something my mom used to say, "This too shall pass." True

Geez I've remembered quotes from both my parents. They must be nearby.  ;)

I love your morning photo! I'd like to be sitting in that chair. Pretty and peaceful.

This is where I saw the Elk herd while stand at side of porch. Bottom of photo shows the top of porch railing.
The male was standing smack right behind the picnic table so close I think it was touching him. The rest of the females and young were to the left near the table  and back a bit eating clover and other seed that had been sprinkled there and grew. They filled the entire green path from left to right there were so many.

Lol I came across this picture of a plague a friend of the family made for my husband Charlie and me. Charlie had commented when the cabin was completed that it took our last nickel. It did!! A long time dream come true though. Anyway, our friend surprised us with the plaque he made for us.

Here's a couple photos of log cabin for anyone who hasn't seen them. A long time over 20 years dream Charlie and I had. We bought the land about 21-22 years ago and always dreamed of a cabin some day. Raising four children and then helping with grandchildren and our kids with college and weddings it just didn't happened until we were blessed suddenly and we could have it built. We are very grateful.

Good Morning  :)

Woke up to a very quiet house  :) since the guys went to cabin ... hunting.  :( I realize there's a purpose for hunting and thinning herds but still makes me sad. There's a story about the sad comment I saw on the Ring cam at cabin last week. I'll tell you then. Remind me if I forget please.

Tig, Thank you about both. There was one photo that I got a 'too large' comment so I just didn't post it. Thanks again for the instructions you gave if they were needed. How are your knees?!

Phyl, Love your morning pic. I'll let my son know you said thanks. Yep to the 'last nickel' being hung by the front door!

LB, Hoping you have a relaxing weekend. It's cooler and breezy/windy so I'm thinking maybe in your area too. Enjoy your walks with Copper!

Karen, Thanks again for posting in the Beak about the story. The posts from/with everyone was fun!
I imagine the bird nest that was above your door is now empty for the season.
The sparrows trying to nest in my front door wreath finally gave up after one flew into my house when the door was opened!!

Quotes 2 & 3

Wishing everyone a pleasant day.

Here's some beauties that were in my backyard feeding area last night. Yep I put a trail cam on the back porch here. lol
Deer have been coming here regularly since the lockdown. This is where I put out bird seed hanging on pole and a big metal ground feeder. For a while back then I couldn't figure out what was eating/licking clean the ground feeder because in the morning it would be empty. Turns out it was deer.
I've been putting out corn, sliced apples and cut up big chunks of carrots for them, rabbits, occasional fox and whatever for a while.

One pic shows a fox to far right in background. Can see his eyes.
The other pic is a doe chasing it away. I have the trail cam set on video.

(((PAULIE)))     Animals in the wild are magnificent for sure.  Thanks for the family pics of them  ;)  What a great plaque your family friend made - perfect  :)   WOW  What a gorgeous, cozy cabin and to realize that dream.  You are truly blessed and was meant to be at this time.  Question - Who waters the beautiful hanging plants when you are not there?  ??? ;)  ;D

Well I've got to get a move on. I might be MIA this evening and tomorrow because my 8 yr old granddaughter is coming for a sleepover. Just a gal's time together with the guys not here. Then tomorrow she and I will get my other granddaughter 16 yr and her boyfriend and we're going to an Autumn Festival with a large field with games, a huge corn maze (I got lost in years ago) and a hayride then inside the market place to a cute cafe to get something to eat.

Oh and I'm taking 2 extra strength Tylenol and definitely rubbing the knee get on dumb knee.

I've I don't return I'm wondering around somewhere the corn maze! Lol

Take care.
