Buck Fever
As I sat at my desk this morning I saw a white-tail buck cross the mid-reaches of our property, between the house and the road. He walked with a limp, favoring his right foreleg. No outward sign of injury and hunting season has not opened yet so I assume he was grazed by a car.

I saw a buck and three does while I was driving in from town on Wednesday. We see deer beside the road or crossing it almost every time we venture out.

We await the first real cold snap of the winter. The weather people predict a low of 27 for Thursday night-Friday morning.

But that is not the big news. I have buried the lead. That's what professionals say when they bury the most important part of a story somewhere down around the sixth paragraph.

We have been told that our living room furniture will be delivered Friday, Nov. 18, Tomorrow! That is 115 days after we placed the order at the Hickory Furniture Mart. After it arrives and we determine it is perfect I will post pictures of the beautiful hand-rubbed leather chairs and sleeper sofa. I will not post pictures of my happy butt after it is freed from the hard wood bottom of my current chair.
