Deer in the sunshine

UPDATE: this is a miracle!

I ordered new filter floss on Monday, as I wrote yesterday, it arrived on Thursday at noon! Now I'm good for about 3 years!

Finally, a sunny afternoon. It was so good to see the sunshine. Apparently our deer thought so, too!





Later in the day a man came to the door. I was in the basement working out, so it must have been 10:00-ish. He had driven up to let me know that a 'fawn' was hit by a car. He thought he'd take it home for his coyotes, but the doe got up and climbed the hill. She was nestling beside the hydro pole. 

I finished my workout around 11:00, and put on my snazzy red boots with the cleats. Climbing up the slippery hill, I found her. Can you see her? She looked pretty rough. 

Her face looked a bit swollen and she looked like she was in shock. I quietly talked to her, and told her I was sorry. You aren't supposed to give food or water to hurt animals. I told her this! (Go ahead and laugh!)

I went round to the backyard and picked up my bench swing, which had fallen in the wind.

13:30 hours

I heard them working on the empty lot across the street, and wondered if the doe was still there beside the highway. I thought maybe the tractor might have scared her. 


Happily, she was gone. Whew.
