Oh (Baby) Deer!!!

Our neighbor came by and asked if the kids wanted to see this orphaned fawn that came right out of the woods and up to his nephews while they were out doing yard work.

This is the friendliest little fawn I've ever seen! (not that I've seen many wild fawns up close)

He (we've established that it's a boy) came right up to my son, David. I love this shot of these two gentle souls!

We've been trying to find mom, but in the meantime, he's drinking from a bottle, and doing great!

I mentioned before how there are trade offs for living in the country--It's funny how the second I start questioning my choice in moving out here, the universe reminds me with moments like this.

I've been trying to get my house in order for Dave and the kids before I leave on Friday. My goal is to have all the laundry done (yeah right!) and tweak some writing projects I've been working on.

Part of me wishes Dave and the kids could come with me this weekend. I enjoy traveling with them. We just took a 4 day trip together in April. That's where I took the picture of the old barn on the front of my blog. I love history and old architecture. It's inspiring.

That particular house and barn is significant with regard to something I'm working on. I like to put "vision board" images in places that I'll look at frequently. Since I'll be working on this blog daily, I figured it's as good a place as any for it!
