Summer or winter, Amador county is like it sounds: poetic and charming.
TO COMMENT: Click on the title of THIS post (Amador County), and the comment form will appear on the bottom of this post.
THE GOOD; Not as well known as Napa Valley to the West, but all around here are large and small vineyards, all protected by fences (hard to see here). Love the different (Tue) textures of the smooth leaves of the grapes and (Tue) trees, the hard rounded shapes of the stalks and the fence, and the soft grainy texture of the weeds.
THE FUN: where kids play with things in nature (Mundane Monday)
Friday Hunt
Begins with C: Critters (deer)
Weeks Favorite: Kid’s Play
Unique perspective: last photo
the deer daily come in and around our back yard
Because of the dear deer I need to research which flowers they do not like to eat! Or, have them 6 feet off the ground. Since these are wildflowers, they’ll probably be toast:) for Nature Notes
A few months ago my son in law came home from work. His son Boo handed him his present. My daughter explained that whenever Boo won marbles at a game at school, he saved them up 3 months long, to give to his dad as a birthday present.
We were all touched – a total surprise. Hope he will stay this kind and compassionate.
THE RANDOM: The only place that is the next county over on our way to Vacaville. See the ducks and birds? Because the Water/swamp I couldn’t come closer. I do not know how this area is called, but it’s a few miles long. Tue Travel.

I find that the deer in my area do not like lavender or strong smelling herbs like rosemary. We spray annuals with a product called “Liquid Fence”–it smells bad but keeps the deer and rabbits away from the flowers for awhile–if it rains we have to reapply.

Hi Jesh,
Thanks for the mail. The school children go to a secondary school(mavo, huishoudschool ) in Lekkerkerk, Krimpen aan de IJssel or Capelle aan de IJssel. The more difficult secondary schools like Atheneum ( secondary modern school), which takes 6 years , are in Capelle aan de IJssel or in Rotterdam en Gouda. A lot have changed since I attended HBS and Trainingcollege for Teachers. Have a great week, kind regards to your husband.

Love all your photos,, especially your cute granddaughters that remind me of my two. Deer do not like very odorous plants like lavender or marigolds. They also leave daffodils alone but will eat tulips. They also seem to leave herbs alone–I grow rosemary, basil, oregano, and sage and they don’t eat it. I love roses so to have them in my yard I ahve to surround them with chicken wire, or the deer would eat them, thorns and all!
