Marshmallow's Return

We haven't seen the albino deer, Marshmallow, around our house for the past year. She has been hanging out a few blocks east of here. Now she is back and she brought some friends. Fun to see more of her again. 

I just ran into a snag with the article I wrote for a local publication. The topic was an interview with an immigrant and their thoughts on life in Marquette. With the shift in the political climate, this person is now apprehensive about drawing unwanted attention, so it looks like it might not be published. Disappointing, but understandable. 

Thursday was my birthday and we had a lot of fun! Naomi was able to work from home, so we managed to pick out some tiles for the basement remodel. My parents took us out for lunch. Iron Bay was closed but we had a great meal at the Cajun place. Amélie came home sick from school, but was feeling better soon. Naomi made a really nice dinner and some delicious cheesecake. We also got to watch the girls figure skate and they made mw some amazing birthday presents!

My parents spent the night, helped out with a few things in the morning, and then we went for a hike after lunch. They took the girls home with them after school. It's been a while since Naomi and I had some time to ourselves! Made some good progress yesterday. Today we will take a little walk on our land before picking up the girls. We also plan to stop by the farm and see the new llamas with the girls on our way home. Just about ready for snow! Ahead of schedule on my checklist. 

She's back!

Learning all about compost.

Great birthday lunch!

More than most hunters saw on deer day.
