This morning at 7:15 when my eyes opened and I looked out my bedroom window without ever moving my head, I thought '' OMG what a big dog in my yard.'' Then another one moved into my view. By this time I'm trying to get my thoughts together and I got out of bed and headed for the kitchen for a better look. As I looked through the glass sliding doors I realized not only was I looking at baby deer and mama deer but the whole damn family grazing in my yard not five feet from my bed room window(dad,grand pa , grand ma, and a few other relatives). There were eleven in all !!! Now that might not sound strange if I lived in the country, but I live in a housing development with 100 plus homes maybe not more than 50 to 75 feet apart. Now the funny part of this, or at least I think so, is I have a brother who goes deer hunting every season . I've heard him tell how he starts going to special places to leave feed for over a week before the season starts. How he builds, a thing he calls deer blinds ( I could be wrong on that) but anyway it's something to hide in. He tells of walking 3 or 4 miles to this magic place and waiting for hours in cold freezing weather for the deer to show up for a free meal.
Maybe I ought to tell him they won't be showing up today because they have been satisfying their hunger in my yard all morning. No I can't do that and take all the fun out of all his hard work. My thoughts on this is this deer family, in my back yard have found a safe place to hide till all these crazy guys freeze out and go home!!!!!!and I'll never tell.
