Finally some good rain came down...and hit my windows too! At about 1:40 pm last Thursday.
Then I noticed that there was a bucket truck and a tent set up in the alley. I went off to take my afternoon nap.
When the rain let up I saw more! By 3 pm there was a familiar visitor.
I'm assuming it's the same deer.
Reactions from the power repair people were mixed...
A short while later this resident rode his chair down to the end of the lot, then turned around and went back the other way. No indication that he saw the wildlife nearby! Incidentally the garbage which includes broken bottles has been there since earlier in the week...halfway between wheelchair guy and the deer. It was from one of the recycle bins (green) on the other side of the street. Nobody apparently cleans up this kind of mess.
Smart deer wouldn't have anything to do with Mr. Vape guy! And what did he think holding his smelly hand out to her would do anyway?
I'm starting to sound like Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window. I need to get out more!
My last shot at 3:19 of the deer.
At 5:18 the bucket is up and the sun is hitting my window hard. Yay, they've achieved whatever they're doing.
Wish I could come up with something more exciting...like they buried the body or something. Leave that to Hitchcock!
---------------------------
And then another rainy day on Monday this week, and look who shows up again! But at the other end of the alley.
Pretty sure they're not working on live wires, in the rain, after all!
This is long enough, I'll add the last "repost of Durango" blogs tomorrow.
I see that you're really getting into what's going on your new neighborhood. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the energy to go walking, a block at a time, to see all the old buildings and touristy shops. But for the breathing limitations, just looking out my window works best now.
DeleteThe roof tops above Mountain Mechanics are paint worthy as in on your wall painting. That would be fun to draw especially without a ruler and with wonky eye sight. Your window view is entertaining and lucky I reckon. No need to get out more- you have wicked good vision and inspiration right there !
ReplyDeleteA la Chagall I'm thinking. I would love to see those roofs in paint!
DeleteStrange spot for the deer to be in.
ReplyDeleteI don't think she was too bright, actually. How much nutrition can you get from dead leaves anyway? I just hoped the bushes that were cut down hadn't had anything toxic on them.
DeleteYou really get to see a lot from your window and the deer was special. LOVE your banner and I really want to visit Durango again! I know I would still love it! Enjoy your weekend. Watch for someone with a shovel and body bag! hahahaha!
ReplyDeletePlenty to watch! I enjoy my elevated view of the world from my flat. We have plenty of squirrels but I've not spotted a deer, though one of the ladies whose view is of the drive and lawns tells me there is sometimes one who visits in the early morning.
ReplyDeleteKeep watching--you may become a crucial witness for something or other.
ReplyDeleteWe are watchers, too. We used to watch out the bigger windows we installed when we built our addition. Now, after what started with one camera as a joke, we watch security cameras around our house. We did get them for a good reason, a neighbor was robbed while she was at church. But that turned out to be an inside job with a home health worker. Then my husband installed one by our back door which I guess is to watch deer eat from his garden (this year we have a taller fence). We have one on the front porch which is blocked by my hanging baskets from May to the end of October, but it is a nice view of the flowers. We have our other front porch camera which I call the wildlife cam where we see who hangs out on our front porch at night. It's mostly raccoons with the occasional rabbit or skunk. We have one more on the garage pointed at the play yard where we can watch more animals in the evening and also monitor grandchildren in case of a he said- he said situation.
ReplyDeleteWe all have a little bit of Jimmy Stewart.
