Ho...Well, that was a potentially scary laundry day. Hopefully the deer was just running by because she couldn't quite figure out the song...<BR/><BR/>Kathy's right. Try to look big and scary. And don't run. Prey run. Although this is theory. I'm not sure how I'd act in practice. Does prey roll onto the ground in a fetal position crying?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37172157.post-52387668840449765862007-06-10T09:24:00.000-05:002007-06-10T09:24:00.000-05:00Animals are amazing, aren't they?

They sensed something was amiss, and headed for the hills.<BR/><BR/>Phew - glad you're OK though!Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801106423220668342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37172157.post-88146079142964239312007-06-09T10:18:00.000-05:002007-06-09T10:18:00.000-05:00Hehe.

Of course, my kids play at their Granny's which is right by your house, so maybe I shouldn't laugh....<BR/><BR/>I am going to knit the sagittaria shawl! I have been thinking about yarn and color. Of course, I'll get a little bit of a late start, but I am definitely in! :)ARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18118220347032957011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37172157.post-3274668107754933542007-06-09T09:25:00.000-05:002007-06-09T09:25:00.000-05:00Wow.

A hawk did make off with a neighbor's puppy once (a tiny Yorkie) so it can be kind of scary, too.<BR/><BR/>BTW, can you add me to the shawl-along? :-) I'd love to join!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37172157.post-1167064851855484682007-06-09T00:16:00.000-05:002007-06-09T00:16:00.000-05:00Ah Patience was the song my husband and I danced t...Ah Patience was the song my husband and I danced to at our wedding.

The key is to make yourself look bigger (holding the laundry basket above your head, for example), make a lot of noise and throw stuff at it. I hike in cougar country and have never seen one, but have seen their fresh tracks. That was close enough for me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37172157.post-16988452410238734802007-06-08T16:16:00.000-05:002007-06-08T16:16:00.000-05:00Gosh!
