Fall is in the air, along with a tinge of winter just around the corner. The turkey and deer families are almost grown up. Last night at dusk, we watched the deer herd frolicking on the lawn. We counted at least 10.
They were all jiggly with fat laid down for the winter. I sat watching on the deck and they paid no attention at all. The does eventually went on their way, but one of the little bucks, full of himself, stayed behind and tested out his tiny antlers with the big daddy, who was being pretty indulgent with the teenager. For now. I watched them gently sparring, what a magical sight.
I told John why turn on the the Nature Channel, when it's right outside the window? We've had beautiful weather, just a little rain at night. The trees are just perfection and we're thinking of taking the North Cascades Highway route home tomorrow.
