In The Wilderness
I woke up today to some strange noises.. I heard rustling.. I noticed that I had pushed my blankets off of the bed, so I came to the conclusion that the noise was them hitting the stuff around my bed. So, I look at the clock and realize I can sleep for another hour. As I am about to fall asleep, I hear it again. I disregard it.. I go to sleep again and there it is again.. At this point I am now wide awake from the annoyance, so my astute hearing zones in on my “kitchen.”
First, I don’t like dealing with pests. Second, I don’t like waking up early. So, I am really annoyed. I decide that maybe I can make the “thing” just shut up so I can go back to sleep.. so I grab the nearest thing and throw it at it.. and missed. I grab the second nearest thing and throw that.. and missed. Due to a shortage of worthless objects around me to throw, I get up. And using a pair of drumsticks as tongs, I sort my food. And then I find a ramen noodles bag open and half-empty. Ugh..
I used my makeshift tongs to throw the bag away.. and then I lay back down. Of course, it then occurs to me that I didn’t remove the noise, but only moved it somewhere else. So, I give up on sleeping and decide to take the trash out. I make my way to the dumpster and I see two animals across the lot.. I don’t have my glasses on, so I think to myself, “were there a pair of those decrotative lawn deer before?” Of course, I go back and get my cheap-o camera..
Hey, ya’know I’m not exactly working with the same kinda budget for photography that Matt is, gimme a break.

Are you saying you had deer in your kitchen? I’m confused on this and I’m also pondering the likelyhood that they enjoy a good bowl of Ramen noodles.

So- I feel the need as a family member and concerned citizen, if this is all you have to write about…somebody needs to get some action…and I don’t mean with your camera. Yes, nature is nice but a good story is even better… plus it will give us something to talk about at Thanksgiving or Christmas. NOT- that your deer story wasn’t charming.
Love always

Now that story had me laughing! What kind of varmint was in the noodles? I’ll loan you some of my poisons when you’re up here next week. Living in “the country”, I believe I’ve had all of them make residence in my house. As for the deer, you need to get yourself a shotgun. Deer jerky is GREAT! I’ll clean them for you and you can eat like a king, or a hillbilly, depending on your taste for wild game. I hope you can make it up here with your mom and Noah. Mary is looking forward to a hoe-down. That’s hillbilly for playing music and singing, not to be confused with ghetto speak. See ya soon! Love, Deb
