twin fawns eyeing my kitchen garden a nibble here, a tiny footprint there...just opening rosebuds nipped clean...
the raspberry patch looking a little like a mouse had clumb up the stems and taken only the most succulent of the berries.
The telltale tiny bite from a yellow cherry tomato, still on the vine.
~~
I had nearly given up hope of seeing fawns down in the trees after this odd year of
not many wild things coming into the fields and yard.
There hasn't been the usual flurry of quail and pheasant, no large herds of deer coming down from the hills in the evenings to the cool green hay fields.
~~
This morning I was so glad to see these 2 little ones playing in my garden.
Somehow it makes everything right with the world.
and here they are...the naughty twin fawns.
they nibble my lettuce and paw out newly planted peas.
and even so, it makes me happy to see them again.
