More Neighbors

While out walking with a neighbor and all the local neighbor dogs, a friend and I saw herds of elk and deer. Even though neighbor dogs start following us like we were the Peid Piper as we walk along, they weren't concerned about the wild animals and the wild ones weren't concerned about them.

Instant messaging is fun. We used AIM to instant message sometime back when it first came out.

Blogs n Frogs

I heard the frogs singing in the neighborhood pond for the first time. Yes!!! Spring is here!

Regarding the blogging, many of the links to the blogs did not work this week. That was very frustrating because some of the titles made me yearn to see what was written inside! It may be my imagination, but it seemed like some worked on some days, and others worked on other days. Hopefully they will all work soon.

Friendly Neighbors

Friendly neighbors are everywhere. You can take an afternoon walk in the neighborhood on a bright, sunny day, and be met with the smiles and waves from others enjoying the day also. But neighbors aren't just the human ones. They can also be the neighbor dog or cat, the cow in the next field, or a wild neighbor such as deer.
Throughout the years deer have regularly enjoyed apples from my parents' orchard. One year a family of deer came into the yard like they normally did each each evening. This particular deer family had a young "teenage" family member. The youngster noticed the family cat, also a a teenage equivalent, and the two struck up a friendship. From that point on for the rest of the summer, the deer and cat played together night after night while my parents sat quietly on the deck enjoying the show. Each night after the deer ate their fill of orchard grass and apples, they moved on and the cat went back to lap sitting and purring.
So, good neighbors are many places and come in many forms. Take time to get to know them. You will be glad you did.
