Today's most welcome rains has ceased for the evening. We've received more rain today that we probably have since the first of the year. So wifey and I had a pleasant evening out on the veranda watching all our "babies" come into feed. I loaded my latest Kaywoodie acquisition with my old standby "Special #2" and prepared myself another gin and tonic.
Our babies are our menagerie of deer. First it was Momma and little James, then the three older does we have aptly named Gonreal, Regan, and Cordelia. You can probably determine from those names which ones are the real nasty old does! And little "Bucky" who catches all the flack from the three old ones..... They are relentless in their treatment of him! This summer and the drought have been especially taxing on them. We've tried to supplement their diet, but alas we did loose two fawns. Little James was this years only survivor.
We still have a few hummingbirds coming to the feeders, preparing for their long trip across the Gulf of Mexico to their winter home in Mexico.
Living it the country , we are truely blessed!!!!
