I just have to share this with you. In the middle of July, my friend was looking out the window and she was so excited. The deer was laying down by my shed. She said, "I think she's pregnant".. maybe she'll have it down there. As it was kind of hidden from the street.
Then a few weeks later, I noticed her up on my patio eating some of the bird food. Then when I took this picture, I noticed that she had been nursing. I told my friend, "I think she does have a baby, by the look of her"!
And yes, look at her baby fawn!! How precious...huh?? Precious and hungry..
After eating a little grass and getting a drink from the bird bath, she decided to join Mom..
And they ate 99% of the bird feed we had out there.
Sweet... but they are wild.. and seem to be hungry. I also noticed they had been laying in some grass with those sticky tops. I remember getting them stuck on my socks and pants years ago and never being able to get them off. So, I hope the deer have a better luck. ha!
Our weather has been so HOT. But most evenings, I have been able to sit out on the porch. Tonight, my little neighbor boy came over and we had a nice visit.. He's about ready to head back to school.
I'm hoping I'll get some photos tomorrow of my son and his band when they play at the Iowa State Fair. smile...
more as it happens..
