We came back from a family reunion yesterday evening. I was in the kitchen fixing a snack when my middle son came in and told me I had to see what was in my garden now an to be quiet.Here's what he wanted me to see. Bambi was in my garden. It was a fawn, no mother in sight. We took pictures, (Ray took these) and it didn't move probably because it was in the only cover available. Soft hearted Roy put a bucket of water out in the yard for it. I suspect the mom left the fawn in the garden because it offered some cover as opposed to the other yards while she went off. We didn't see the fawn that morning but then we didn't look. By this morning it was gone. We'll have to wait and see if it shows up again.
By the way our house in in the middle of town. surrounded by a chain link fence. The fawn had to jump to get in and despite Roy's worry that the fawn was left by its mom because it couldn't jump the fence to get out, I pretty sure it could have left at any time. Knew there was a reason those pesky hog weeds grew faster then I could pull them. They were shelter for a fawn.
Oh so sweet! So you are raising venison instead of vegtables? lol
