Too Dear
We saw two deer on our morning walk just now. That is the first time I have seen deer here. Sorry, no photos.
Yesterday afternoon we spotted the baby possum wandering about the backyard and going underneath the deck. Does he or she live there?
We have been seeing the baby cardinal regularly for a while now. His parents still feed him but he also forages on his own. It seems that he is not yet allowed to be at the bird feeder -- the only time I saw him there Father Cardinal chased him away.
And, we have a family of five tit mouses (tit mice?) nearby. I'll post pictures of them and more baby cardinal photos soon.

Public Service
Last night we ate at the Backyard Tavern & Chop House at 14555 Grisby which used to be the Grisby Grill. We were very disappointed to say the least. My pork chop was rare to raw in the middle and my wife's filet was burnt (she'd asked for medium well). The vegetable of the day, a medley, was cold and uninspired. We also had a shrimp cocktail (ok but could have used some horse radish in the sauce and a squeeze of lemon), salads (ok) and bread (ok). For $66 for the food I definitely expect eatable entrees. I noticed one of the other diners (there were only three occupied tables) sending back their pork chop to be cooked further. We will never be back.
