Word of the Day

Spellilepsy - An event in which the brain omits particular letters from words, intermittently throughout the day, that is mostly caused by staring blankly at objects on a computer screen for too long.

The snow is melting...it's melting, melting, melting. We've been getting rain...all night long...all day long. I was startled to see a herd of deer crossing my backyard, browsing on newly exposed vegetation. We see lots of deer every summer but never this many. Ten deer! Why couldn't they have shown up while Ms. En was here to see them? Why couldn't they have shown up while Sis' hubby was out hunting last fall? They mock us. I'm afraid they have their mouths set to taste my blueberry bushes, or my plum tree, or my azaleas. I don't mind them mowing down the vegetation in the buffer zone between the house and the lake but they can just stay away from my gardens!

Random Thought of the Day
