I Was Wrong


I thought there was a doe with a fawn living in my yard for the past couple weeks. I scared the mother out of the grass out by the canoe last week.

She'll leave when I approach but she doesn't go very far and she keeps looking back at me. Last weekend we saw a fawn running along the edge of the woods. This morning from the deck I saw both speckled fawns sunning themselves on the edge of the woods. I watched until the mother came out and called them back into the shelter of the woods. So I was wrong about the doe and her fawn. She had twins. I'll bet they are glad it's windy today. The mosquitoes are so nasty. My legs were eaten up when I weeded the garden Friday afternoon.
