Gramma Camp and the fawn

I am getting forgetful. I had all these photos on the camera. After dinner on Wednesday, we noticed a doe in the front yard. We all went to the window, and spotted the spotted fawn, as well. I went out for photos!

She began calmly eating the lilac tree.
I ventured outdoors for a closer look.





The wood is half done! It rained all day on Thursday. We didn't get any more done. 

The flowers look wonderful!

 Thursday was a cool, wet one. A big front from the northwest.

The day was a wet one. We stayed indoors. Jos and I played Uno. She creamed me! We all did some reading. 

In the afternoon, we watched Maze Runner: the Scorch TrialsWhoa! Don't watch it before bedtime. Josee is reading book 3, but this one is based on Book 2. Fortunately, it's not true to the book, and she couldn't tell us what was happening next. We keep saying she wouldn't make a good spy, she could never keep secrets. 

Grampa went out and fetched us pizza for dinner. He had leftovers. Poor man!

In the afternoon, we were watching our movie, when I saw a fox run across the view out the window. I grabbed the videocam, and we all ran to the back door. Jos opened it slowly, and there was the fox, right under the back deck. It bolted into the forest. Nutmeg was sleeping on the chair, so Jos snatched her up and brought her into the house.
