Mid-morning surprise
I was talking on the phone a few minutes ago, and was gazing out the front window, down towards the street. I had opened the main front door (storm door still closed) to let in some light, and to let the dogs watch the view from inside. It’s raining out today, and chilly; autumn has settled in for sure! I noticed a doe and her fawn emerge from the woods on the east side of the house and start to graze on our lawn. I enjoy watching the deer when they come out; there are often as many as six or seven at a time. I don’t usually see them this time of day! That was a surprise!
The fawn started to roll around in the grass, apparently enjoying itself! A car drove past our house, startling the deer and they hurried back into the safety of the woods. Apparently that was the first moment my dogs noticed the deer and went totally crazy! It took several minutes for me to get them to calm down. Peace and quiet shattered!
