Upon rising I raised the shades as I always do. There was one young deer laying down and eating grass in our yard. Not laying on its side but with its feet curled up underneath.
We had seen twin fawns with spots in June with their mother in the yard. They ate awhile, then the mom gave them a signal (which I didn't see or didn't understand it if I did see it). Off the three of them went with mom in front walking and the twins jumping and skipping with each other behind.
So I went to another window, raised the shade, and there was the twin about five feet from the window. They would hear a sound, stop chewing, and turn their ears in that direction. After identifying that there was no danger, they would continue chewing. The sounds were two gray squirrels playing their continuous game of chase me. Also, two blue jays came around making a raucous. They stayed for an hour or so. Of course, they may have been there all night. After breakfast, I went outside to where they were laying down. I could see the grass matted down where they had been. Then came to me who ate my lilies that I brought from Mt. Prospect.
