A Horny Gift.:D

Last night as soon as Randy got home from work, we loaded up went down the road to my parent's house to pick up my Pampered Chef from Dana's party (the first party I went too-Dana and I live in opposite directions and both work so was hard to get!) and my checks that I ordered (don't get me started on that!). After we picked up my items we then ran into town (we don't go into town much-ghetto ass bullshit) to get cigs since I was lazy earlier today and didn't stop in Winnebago to get a carton! When we pulled back in the drive my Auntie was outside cleaning up from what ever the workers were doing by her garage, so I stopped the truck and got out, Randy drove on down to the house. I figured I had my checks now and rent is due in a few days and I haven't talked to my Auntie in about 2 weeks. I went over paid the rent, teased her about her already blooming tulips (fake flowers-her and my mother have gotten lazy in their late 50s and early 60s on their flower beds!), oooed and awwwwwwwed over her new retaining walls being put up by her garage drive and then proceded to walk down our lane to our house.

Being a country girl, I scan the area in front of me constantly so I am not tripping over ruts, rocks, snakes, other critters, or other things. As I got closer to the middle of our lane, there was nothing in front of me. I scanned, looked up and scanned again. I stopped. Right in my line of step was my horny gift from the Universe! It is a deer antler, a very well perserved one. Either from a small buck or from an older doe. It wasn't there before and all of a sudden it appeared. And before you all say I jsut missed it before, sorry you don't miss a bone colored object in front of you on a muddy brown wet road one moment and see it the next!

This is very precious to me because of my spirituality! Being a Celtic Irish Druid, it holds significant meaning because of the Stag and Doe! Our deer herds in the area are letting us know that we are welcomed! They aren't in the woods behind the house much anymore but they still come to visit us. We leave them alone and they leave us alone. I said thank you and got back to the house and promptly got into the truck and ran back up to my Auntie's house to ask my Uncle if he had any spare corn cobs or grain I could have to feed the deer. He gave me a 10 gallon bucket and I then went home and sprinkled it around in the woods for the deer to say thank you. This morning the kids grabbed my digital camara (which is usually a no no) and grabbed some pictures of the woods behind the house-we had a herd of 25 plus deer in the woods eating the grain I sprinkled. The pictures aren't very good due to it down pouring and yay the kids aren't use to my camara and so they won't load properly. They then came running upstairs and got me up. I went down stairs and saw why they were so excited! The stag that was right in the middle of the woods was HUGE! He had over 15 points and I kept loosing track of the points so it could have been more. I swear to Lugh, that buck looked right at me and nodded his head and right after that, the biggest doe I have ever seen walked up behind him and looked right at us also! She lifted her muzzle up in a nod also and then she nudged the buck. Then those two bounded out of the woods and the other deer stayed to eat! It was so awesome!

I am so glad to be back home! The Gods have really blessed us by letting the animals being so welcoming!
