This is the View from inside my living room Window

When you pull up to our house there is a huge tree directly in front of our big picture window in the front. I believe it is a maple tree, but the way it has grown, it reminds you of one of those kinds of trees perfect for climbing when you where a kid. The roots are so large it has made it impossible for us to properly landscape. The ground is hard and there are patches where grass just will not grow. The greenery that you see around the tree, next to the rocks, was lavish hosta that came up in the spring. The deer simply turned them into salad at their choosing. You also will notice a large house shaped bird feeder hanging from a branch. Well that is not a bird feeder at all, it belongs to our 3 itty bitty friends that jump and fly like they belong in the circus. They are not squirrels. They are smaller. They are not chipmunks either. They are miniature squirrels called ground squirrels. They are constant entertainment for us. We do not need to turn on the television.

Every evening around the same time after dinner, we head for the living room to sit for awhile before heading to bed. Out of the corner of his eye Jim will notice something, a deer, all by herself. This has been going on for weeks. We wonder why she is alone. She always follows the same path and usually comes around the same time. Occasionally we have seen her in the middle of the day. Usually this happens when it is rainy. Well a few days ago Jim mentioned that he had not seen her lately. At least a couple of days. He said maybe it was because the bird feeder was empty. The next day I made a trip to the local feed store and filled the feeder. This morning she popped her head around the corner. Jim says he sees why she has been missing. With her is a small spotted baby. We cannot believe our eyes. Just then another baby pops around the corner. Twins!!!! Our deer is a mommy.
