Deer, food, camera, beaver

Today I noticed another garden item that the deer have eaten: sunflower leaves. On one sunflower they ate many of its leaves. *sigh*

I am living off my garden produce:

Lunch

• tomato sandwich
• radish
  
• cucumber
• broccoli
• raw zucchini
• zucchini bread
  
• carrot
  
• apples
  

Supper

• corn on the cob
• steamed cabbage
• potatoes or parsnip
• green onion
  
• beet
• apple pie
  

Hmm... maybe I should have kept one of my cattle for butchering so I would have some beef to counter this vegetarian-like eating routine. I keep saying I am not a vegetarian, but I find I don't eat much meat these days. Once my garden produce is gone I'll be back to eating more meat.

More digital camera shopping today. As I want an optical viewfinder in addition to the LCD screen, that narrows the choice of cameras in my price range as most cameras only have a LCD screen. Canon and Kodak are about the only brands in my price range that have an optical viewfinder. I am also limited by the models that the local stores carry. I think I'll get the Canon A540. From the reviews it appears to be a good camera. Seems nice when I looked at it in the store . Initially I was put off by the bump of the camera's right side, but found that this bump makes it easier to hold the camera with one hand. I guess that is the purpose of the bump.

The potato trucks are back hauling potatoes down my road. They had taken a break due to the wet weather last week.

I seen a dead beaver in Daryl's yard by the creek. The guy helping him prepare for his new home said Daryl shot it. It is a large animal. He left it near the dam as a warning to the others. The creek is rising again so the other beavers just moved downstream a bit.
