      Spring has REALLY come to our yard

      In the form of this brand new addition:
      birth of the fawn May 06 (2).jpg

      You have to look closely - he's there under mom - ( hint - he's the one with the spots)

      This is the TRUTH as to why I was late for work yesterday morning. I mean - you can't walk away from this scene outside your window! - Well, I can't.
      Just take a closer look -

      Sorry the pictures aren't better - but I just quietly slid open the window in the spare room, and she knew I was there. I zoomed in as much as possible, but it was of course more important not to disturb this delicate miracle.

      Just to watch her clean him up, and nudge him up onto those "wobbly" legs. Almost immediately he began to nurse - and simultaneoulsy that bright white tail of his was wagging furiously!!!
      Afterwards, she walked him over behind the pond, and disappeared into one of the huge wild rose bushes where I'm sure she hid him securely.
      We'll watch now - may be a few days before she brings him back into the open.
      Stay tuned!
      We were trying to choose a name for him last night - any ideas???

      To be outspoken when truth is under attack, when charity is being bruised, or when important issues of life are at stake is a good and courageous thing. To be outspoken when nothing is at stake except the feelings of someone else is a small and contemptible thing. ~ Lawrence G. Lovasik (The Hidden Power of Kindness)
