Deer

I came home today after working very hard, tired and sore, yet inspired enough by the beautiful weather to mix a drink and sit out on the screened-in porch.

There in the back yard were two young deer.

I’ve seen this sight before, but this afternoon it was particularly sweet and engaging. I quietly sat and watched them scrounging for morsels.

This ain’t New York City....but it is in the city. I live on a busy four-lane road across from a college. Not so long ago it would be almost unimaginable to see deer roaming around this yard. But their habitats have been so vastly destroyed for housing development that seeing them today was no surprise.

But it was still a lovely moment to take part in.
