Just before leaving for up north I had been hoping to see the last of the five deer that we had enjoyed all winter passing through our yard.  My wish came true the morning before we pulled out there they were passing through the front yard.  Had not seen them for some weeks.  They came  to say good bye I guess. They are not afraid of the folks in the neighborhood. So they like to pose for pictures.

I  thought I might put flower in the boxes on the porch but that would mean brother would have to tend them the whole time we are gone.  So I opted for  fake ones.  Don't  think they look to bad for the summer.  Seem to put a little punch  on the porch as well.  So we are off to our stomping grounds in the north.  Hoping we continue to have warm weather so hubby can breath better and we can get our many family matters taken care of.

We will be  sorry not to see brothers son and family that will be coming down from Wisconsin in about two weeks but maybe lots of pictures will be taken we can enjoy when we get back.

Now we are back in the north and  we are to have the whole gang over on Sunday.  Got to get them together when we can because  the grrandchildren all have lives that are going in different directions.  Work and social activities  plus home chores all fill their days.  Will be good to see them all in one spot after almost  seven months of being apart.  Picture to follow  after the get-to-gether.
