Deer family and fundraisers

 I keep saying it, but soon it'll be the last of the deer. They disperse in summer. 

They lay down, eyes and ears peeled for predators while chewing their cud.

The cats and I need morning entertainment. Normally they fight outside the door. I try to let one of them inside the bathroom while I do my ablutions. It occurred to me to put the ribbon under the door. This was Cinnamon's turn. Nutmeg was outside the door.

We've had a pair of crows. I peeked out the window, and they flew off. 

Next, along comes a single turkey tom. The fawn found the creature interesting.

 

In news, the 🇨🇦 Canadian flight attendant who was ejected from the Jazz plane in that horrific incident at 🇺🇸 LaGuardia is facing a long journey back to health. According to her fundraiser, she flew 100m in the air. There are lots of surgeries, and she is still in a New York hospital. It is going to cost a fortune to get her all the surgeries and rehab she will need. It's beyond me why someone else isn't paying for this. It would be covered with universal healthcare in Canada. 

AV Brief

While I am at it. Our blog friend, Scary Mary, has bad news about her daughter and her health issues. A family friend is doing a fundraiser: GoFundMe Link. Not only that, but Mary herself had a health  episode: Apartment Life #413. I feel so badly for all those going though trauma.

Flying and critters

We are shocked by the tragic airport incident at LaGuardia. When the helicopter and jet plane collided (Jan., 2025), NTSB did an amazing presentation about who does what, the issues they will examine. If you are interested in the process. People, and media are jumping into the fray, with speculation. We have to wait. 900 flights a day...

The problem with investigating the incident is getting the experts there. The protocols include having many agencies with standing in the investigation. Canada is involved as they were a Canadian plane, Canadian crew, had Canadians on board, and it is a Canadian-built plane. It is a joint effort. With Newark having had an issue, and slow lines in airports, and the administration firing 400 FAA senior officials, the TSA head, and 3,000 air traffic controllers in Jan., 2025, policy choices have consequences.

Back to your regularly scheduled topic. Let the professionals do their jobs. 

Lots of critters out and about.

Butch was back. I finally cleaned up and brought it indoors! Twice bitten, once shy! They are hungry. They do like to explore! Butch on the deck📹, June, 2021. 

 

Yes, I still have my lights. They'll be Easter lights now!

This pair are a hoot. Momma has snow on her head. The fawn has antler nubs, it must be a male.

We've had 6 hanging around.

The birds have been back, out singing in the snow and cold. Complaining, methinks. I wrote a story about Eddie and Eva, geese who seemed to have flown north too early!

 

 I told many stories about Eddie and Eva (e.g., SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 2009 "It's your fault", a story about a snowy day!) This was a pair who returned all 4 years we lived there year-round. (April 2006 - September 2010). They returned with offspring and had happy times. 

Some bird nabbed lunch, March 2025. I've been throwing peanuts out for #75. 

The frog pond was frozen. Now it is frozen again. March 20, 2025: 

Good Bunny Labbit is hopping about!

   

 Butch is on clean up duty! In a snowstorm...
