Deer in the Snow

Picture probably won't be clear, as I took it through the window; There are 6 deer on the hill in front of my house. Some are  shoulder -deep in snow, but all 6 are pawing the snow for  food. ***I used yardstick earlier, 19 inches at deepest. And it's snowing right now.

Who'd thunk...

...that we'd be feeling sorry for Rudy?
     Maybe his mother never told him that folk story that ends with telling the person dying from snake venom:  "You knew it was a snake when you picked it up."

Dream---seemed so real

   I had before me a plate of mandarin orange slices.  I've always liked them, but there were too many, and I felt compelled to eat them, so I pushed them around on my plate, hoping they would disappear.

TROCHANTER---Word of the Day

  We all have them; trochanters are bony protrusions on the femur, the points where muscles of the thigh and hip attach. There are 2 trochanters, the greater trochanter and the lesser trochanter. These fractures account for about 50% of  hip fractures, are typically due to falling from standing height, and one of the risk factors is unsteady gait.  Early surgery can result in return to normalcy.  And in one recent case, the fracture was between the trochanters---Intertrochanteric Fracture.
