View outside the French Room on Sunday morning

A deer ran in front of us while walking our route this morning. Hank let out a deep growl and took off in the woods. He came back after a few minutes and we resumed our peaceful amble.

Too early to order seeds. Searching for exotic locales that offer sea and sunshine. Lisbon, Casablanca, San Juan, Virgin Islands, Barcelona, anywhere on the coast of Mexico.

Question of the day inspired by conversation during brunch with friends: Do you consult with a psychic because you are unhappy with the status quo and hope that you will be given advice for an improved life? Or, do you go to the psychic for confirmation of what you already know? We all have an inner psychic called intuition. Don’t like what the inner psychic is saying.
