Raindrops on Roses

As W.C. Fields was fond of saying, "It's not a fit day out for man nor beast...." I suppose that's why the deer didn't eat this little rosebud which insisted on blooming despite the weather and the season. If the deer don't get it, the frost probably will as the temperatures dip to Arctic tonight. 

I have been making Nana K's mother's cookies today. If Ozzie doesn't get them, OilMan probably will as they are pushed well out of Ozzie's reach, but there is no place that is out of OilMan's reach. The kids didn't call him Cookie Monster for nothing when they were little.
