an unwelcomed visitor

saturday was a day full of sweets at our house. (of course, the love flows freely, so all of them are my sweeties.)


but, as you know Christmas is coming quickly. that means we've begun the process of preparation for our annual open-house. this past weekend brought 3 flavors of fudge and 2 bon-bon-type of candies. the smell of chocolate was everywhere. and, having such great weather, we opened the windows and doors.


but, about 8:30 pm, we heard something strange on the back porch. that's not unusual as there are several neighborhood cats and about 9 deer that frequent our grazing space. in that we always like to point out the deer to israel (who calls them 'dogs'), we turned on the porch light to see what we could see.





it was not a cat...


it was not a deer...


it was not crazy uncle tony...






a mere 4 feet from our screen door...
staring at me through his darkened eyes...
licking his lips and twitching his nose for the smell of chocolate...
