Do Not Feed the Animals.
Tim and I were sitting at our respective computers this evening when Tim glanced out the window and noticed two bunnies next to my car.
I grabbed my stash of carrots from the fridge and headed out on the deck to toss them out to the bunnies. Only a couple of carrots actually hit the car. One came within an inch of hitting a bunny. I walked out and deposited the rest in little piles around the yard and in the garden. The bunnies hopped over to the bushes for cover. It's not like they needed them; they're out there every night chomping on clover. But I couldn't resist.
I started walking towards the deck to head back in when a huge reddish brown hawk took off from the same bushes about 10 feet away, sailed a couple of feet directly over my head, and just over the roof of the house.
I followed the hawk around the house to get a better look and came face to face with a deer. She was standing quiet and perfectly still in the middle of our back yard, and looking at me expectantly. I went inside and told Tim the deer wanted an apple. He tossed one off the deck to her.
Well, 3 out of 4 ain't bad. And who knows... maybe we did end up feeding the hawk too, if inadvertently :-)

Tim,
I have lots of fir in my house and wondering how to finish it. Can you tell me what product you used to finish the wood?
Thanks,
Peter
