Once again I awoke to a nearly endless day. If only the night came more often, and the snow fell upon my bare bones nose. I would not be able to lick the snowflakes off, but I could see their hidden glow from the two deep holes that are eyes upon my face.

I digress, I was near the lake. What an odd place for me to be. I could have sworn I fell asleep beside the temple idol! I fear what controls me so. Perhaps this was something that the gods did? They must have wanted me to see what was lying in the pond.

As I casually (ran, rather) made my way to the pond I saw a sight that made my heart beat and twitter. For a moment I thought myself in two places at once! In great curiosity I stepped forward (ran again, rather) to inspect this lovely look alike deer.

What do my eyes see instead of great antlers?! What you ask?! A doe! A doe! Of course I was all sniffs and head tilts. This deer had a fine choice in pelts and mask! Of course, I find anyone with my tastes to be quite classy deer.

Though I found my look alike to not be so friendly. What would one expect? I laughed, oh how I got a hearty chuckle as I rolled about in the pond. One would have thought I would drown, but it seems this forest deems death to be a most horrid thing. Still, I could not help but enjoy the sight of an female replica of myself.

Then came along another deer with a fine choice in pelt. For a few moments we had a standing magpie pelt party. I dare say it was rather boring. Are magpie deer always such drags? I know I am of the unfriendly sort, but even I found myself to be much more exciting. Perhaps, like me, it was not a good day. Anyone who does not have the same taste in daily emotions has poor tastes in such departments.

Very well balanced deer.

Still, I continued on my way, only to see some one fly by and come right back. My dear love! Or is it deer love? Once again I look to much into the objects that come with the words. Still, I was happy to see a buoyant and familiar face.

As always we leapt and jumped...then we leapt and jumped...leapt and jumped. We leapt and jumped in many directions. My sweet precious had me rather confused. Were we going up and down, or were we going somewhere while going up and down? Eventually we stopped amongst the purple flowers, giving a few minutes to rest up and enjoy ourselves. My breath heavy, I took the chance at rest without a second thought.

Once that was up, we continued on. We did a lovely dance, though I must say I am not that good. I will say my spins are spot on, and any tree dancers would envy my spinning. Once we were done dancing, I took my spinning and circling into work. I circled forwards around my love, and he did spins back. How amusing we were. Once cannot understand our subtle crazy. Circles are very complicated things, you know.

Eventually we headed out to the playground and I suppose the gods wanted a better look at us, for I know of no place higher than that. Once I was done, I ordered my love to do the same. Everyone should glance upon the lovely rotten form. One could not ask for a better look than that! It was a good thing he wore flowers in his antlers that day. I did not and felt I looked a fool. It was like coming to the giant mushroom party in a peacock pelt.

Eventually we sat together atop the rocks.

It was a very busy day for me. It was a good thing my eyes were no longer swollen.
