Update on baby deer...

Baby is gone! Motherhood must have called her back because her baby disappeared from the hiding spot this morning. No signs of any foul play so I assume she came back for baby and they made off for the deer resort that resides in the woods around my house.

No doubt mother and child are doing fine. Well, except for mom's drinking problem. I think many deer have drinking problems. I think the one I hit at 60 mph last year was drunk.

Before I had a serious deer fence, this used to be one of my spring rituals: find the fawn. There was always one (and one year two!) deposited in the un-mown meadow area of my upper "back yard". Beautiful. Now the does can't get in and though I miss the spring birth cycle I don't miss the rest of life with deer. And neither do my plants.
Thanks for visiting my blog, and for sharing yours. Austin is a wonderful area and I have several longtime garden friends there, one who used to have a shop called "Garden." A great spot for growing things I cannot...and for great Mexican food. Yum.
