Spot's really getting into the art of sitting on his humans. He joined WLToo for some pettins.

He does take a close look at everything he thinks is new. Today he just had to explore the HVAC repairman's van. Luckily, we saw him in it and got him out before the repairman was finished.
He and Alex did a lot of dashing in and out today, since it was warm enough to open the door and let the place air out.
Mama Doe and all three fawns smelled banana peels and came right up. I also tossed a few carrots out there. One carrot end was big enough that the single fawn took a good ten minutes of gnawing and worrying it before it finally got it down to bite sized pieces. Was very interesting to watch.
WLToo has named the fawns: the big, brave twin is Han, the smaller, timid one is Spooky, and last year's fawn is Solo. He was the one who said he wasn't going to name anyone except Mama Doe..... The twins have lost their bumps and have velvet now, so we should be seeing bare-headed bucks soon.
We heard a variety of bird song today, but couldn't see anyone. Must have been inside the junipers, singing because they were happy that it actually rained a little.
'Course, by this afternoon, the air was crackling dry again, but at least the dust was out of the air for a little while.
Tomorrow's supposed to be in the high 70s. Looking forward to another day with the house open to the breeze.
Later, y'all.

Some of the bucks still have their antlers. The real big one with the trophy rack was just outside our fence yesterday, staring at Spot, who was staring right back and slowly creeping forward toward the fence. The fog was still burning off, and the junipers and tall grass looked like smoke was drifting up, which lent a spooky quality to their interaction.
Then I sneezed and they both dashed in opposite directions... Drat.
Today's another gloriously beautiful day, in the 70s already. I do love "winter" in the Texas Hill Country. Grasses are greening up, breezes are warm, boaters are out on the lake, and more and more birds are singing. We even have a possibility of more rain in the forecast (fingers crossed).
It's too pretty to stay inside. Think we'll go trim a live oak. Later, y'all.

Spot decided to share my cereal this morning. I eat it dry, and he heard the crunchy sound, so he came to inspect. I let him smell a piece, and he promptly ate it. He ate four pieces before deciding he'd had enough, then he moved to the window bench and took a long nap. He's getting more inclined to inspect and taste things other than cat food, although he still much prefers the cat food. Nothing he's tasted so far has become more than a once or twice thing.
That's good. It's enough that Alex wants to share people food...
