Back again

Our neighborhood deer have returned. They were gone at least a month. If I weren’t sheltering in place I might not have noticed. Around the time I realized their disappearance I heard stories of fawn births.

One who spied a newborn, Judy, learned that after birthing the does will move their fawns into hiding until they’re strong enough to go out into the world. Yesterday’s little spotted Bambi had his or her sea legs, keeping up with Mom at a good clip.

One deer Sunday. Four yesterday. They’re back in time for the blooming peonies. And now we’ll see if it’s true that they’re repelled by the onions I’ve planted.
