Fall Draught

We are still having a draught. There is a good chance of rain tonight and tomorrow. We are having tremendous winds so far tonight. It will probably be really stormy tomorrow night since that is when my mom's flight arrives. Last time she came to visit she landed in the middle of a fabulous lightning storm.
















Pictures from our hike as promised. This is the icky millipede. Some of the hike goes down onto a road and Jordan was just walking along not paying attention and walked right by this thing. It was probably as big as her size 5 shoe. It was black, really long, with little red eyes. Here are a couple pictures of some of the deer we came across. The photo with the two deer in it is not zoomed at all. Jordan and I were walking along the trail, Jordan a few steps ahead of me, talking when all the sudden I looked up and nearly ran into her. She had stopped abruptly and quit talking. I looked up and realized we were about 4 feet away from one of the deer. We weren't being overly quiet but the deer didn't seem scared of us. It was crazy because we nearly walked right into them. We passed by them slowly and at one point it seemed as if one of them was going to walk right up to us. Jordan was in awe. That was definitely the highlight of our hike.
