Close encounters

Standard

Tonight around 7 pm, I stepped out the back door to check plants and there about 40 off feet in front of me was a deer, probably eating the little sour green apples on the ground. I’ll say ‘she’. She turned around and went down the hill a bit. I started talking to her like I do Cosmo, in a high sweet voice. She moved her ears like she was tuning in. She walked on a little and stopped and listened as I walked down to the patio. She flipped her white tail and casually walked on like she was tame. They usually run away fast as lightning. Of course I was thinking about my ‘dear’ grandmom today as she passed on 7 yrs ago.

We watched the special on William and Harry the Princes tonight. Everyone my age watched them grow up like our own children. They are pretty nice young men. They were interviewed by Matt Lauer. There will be a charity concert in their mum’s honor on July 1st which would have been Diana’s 46th birthday.

  1. I love hearing about deer encounters. My mom had some several years back that would come out onto her lawn when she called them, knowing she was tossing them apples and other goodies.

  2. As long as the deer wasn’t eating your flowers, that’s ok! lol They are such elegant animals aren’t they! I’m so sorry to hear that it was the 7th anniversary of your gran’s death…maybe the deer was a sign from her:-) xox

  3. Connie (The Lacey Thread) had a deer in her yard not long ago and she gobbled down all Connie’s flowers. 😦 They’re such lovely creatures, but can be so devastating to our gardens. Do you spray something so they don’t ruin your flowers?
