Oh, deer........................
Life in the country can be all about the timing...........
As we were getting into the Jeep, I happened to glance down to the end of the drive. I spotted some movement on the other side of the road, so stood still a moment to see what was going on. Out of the small ravine came a buck, about a 12 pointer as near as I could count. Behind him came a harem of 4 does, followed by 4 young deer, judging by their size. They quickly crossed the road and followed what seemed to be a well known path up beside the driveway, then gracefully leaped the fence at the back of the yard, crossed the corner of the pasture, and leaped the boundary fence there before trotting on up and over the ridge.
It was a magnificent sight, a sight that would have been missed had the timing been 30 seconds different.
God blesses us so richly!
