Good morning!
It’s Monday, and the tulips are coming along splendidly. By which I mean they’ve done a phenomenal job of nourishing, sustaining, and tickling the palate of at least one passing deer.
I prefer to believe the deer thought they were doing us a favor by keeping the yard tidy.
But if that were the case, why didn’t they help themselves to the dandelions too?
“At the center of your being you have the answer;
you know who you are and you know what you want.”—Lao Tzu

Oh those darn deer! They know what they want. Great quote.
But of course... the deer were leaving the dandelions for the bees!
