Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

More of the deer

A mix of sun and clouds this morning and 62 degrees
when I walked.

 Walked around the upper cemetery and around town.
Then around the ball park.
Saw Joy walking around there too.

Next headed over to Sale Barn Rd and walked a ways up there.


Pretty view from the road looking down at the farm.
The main road runs between the house in front and the barn
but you just can't see it.


Another loop around town and back to the Jeep
for the drive home.

Walked 6 miles

🌤    🚶‍♀️     ⛅️

After my blog post from yesterday, I was looking for the deer again
when I saw Dolly Doe came back for Fiona Fawn.
Dolly looked all around for a minute and then up comes Fiona out
of the ferns.  They slowly walked up to each other and mama gave 
her a good looking over and cleaning.
Then it was time for Fiona's supper.


Not such great pictures but you can how little Fiona is.


They stayed around out back for a while and then the little one went
back to her spot and mama slowly went off into the woods.
Before leaving she stayed for a bit looking all around making sure it
was safe to leave.
Morning time I saw mama came back for her baby and they took 
off together into the woods.

Got some stuff done around the house in the morning.
Afternoon I read, knitted a bit and worked on 
June's weave-it baby blanket.
Colors this time are white and dark red in a checkered pattern.

 That's all I have for today.
Thanks for stopping by.
A happy day to you.

...the view down into the valley with the barn is gorgeous! We saw a fawn like this, but it didn't make it across the road. I love your columbine.

Such beautiful photos and that really is a gorgeous view looking down at the farm. Fiona really is just a tiny bit of a little thing, she's adorable! Have a great evening. :)

I hope little Fiona isn't afraid sleeping alone without her mama. She's still so young. So adorable she is though.

Oh, my! That view! 😍 Worth driving to see. How sweet those deer are! How carefully the mother secures her child in safety while she goes off to forage. Precious creatures! Sounds like you had a great day. Take care and Happy Friday!

How wonderful to watch this part of nature right from your home. So sweet. A deer birthed twins at our son and daughter in laws. That view for a distance is very nice. Hope your weekend is going well.
