I’ve been helping my daughter pack and get ready for their move…
Yesterday, we were having lunch when she quietly pointed to the window
and whispered, “Deer!”
I immediately went to the window and smiled as I saw this pretty girl.
Now, those of you who live in the country and are used to seeing deer all the time… this must be pretty boring for you.
But for us who live in the city… well… let’s just say it’s pretty special.
After just a few seconds, it was as if she sensed I was there, and turned her head towards me…
She was there for just a few minutes, then she turned back to the woods, and disappeared.
How lovely to see her.
She gave us a much-needed break, and a reason to smile.
We had to go back to packing & cleaning, but…
I thought about her and I looked out the window many times, hoping I’d see her again.
Maybe today?
Have a blessed day, everyone!
Love to you all,
Daisy

When we were newly married, we lived on a farm to help be caretakers for the land and the elderly brother and sister. One day, I stepped out of the shower and went to my bedroom to get dressed. I had this overwhelming sense that I was being watched. I looked up and saw twenty deer in our apple orchard. It was a divine appointment in my book. I sat there and communed with God’s creatures humbly amazed by their beauty.
Wow! What an amazing sight that must’ve been. I paused at the words “20 Deer”… and then at “orchard”… sigh
It’s so nice to pause and take a break from “life” just to notice the simple yet beautiful things that surround us. 🙂
Yes! Those breaks keep me going.
Well, i love your photos as always — but I’d like deer better if they wouldn’t eat my day lilies, and my rose bush, and my blueberries, and…that’s just at our city house!
Yes, I know they have to eat, but we leave our field grass high, just for them!
I do love to look at them though.
Oh, no! I’ve heard about deer eating all kinds of things like that… I used to think only goats did that.
Isn’t she beautiful?! I never get tired of seeing them near our house, or the racoons, or the foxes . . .
I think she’s so pretty. Not sure what she was doing all by herself, in the backyard, …but I’m glad she stopped by for a visit. 🙂
Beautiful little vignette– thanks for letting us share it. We love a couple hours from the nearest deer. I can’t imagine finding one in the yard!
