Outside my window this morning, at 4:15, were the deer. They have "trimmed" my rose bushes now, after leaving them alone all season! The recent rains have brought new growth to the grass, which is also a treat for them. The babies are large enough to jump over the chain link fence now. On the side of the house, our cat stares out at the little chickadees, sparrows, and blue jays as they pick through the grass near the falling down fence, looking for bugs and tidbits. The old madrone tree next door still leans precariously and the copse of pine trees still shelters the deer in sudden storms.
