Bambi sighting! |
It’s been a while since we’ve seen any deer close to the house but today, after returning from a morning of running errands, we saw a doe leap across the road, followed by a very wobbly-legged fawn who wasn’t quite sure what to make of his mother being on the run. Once I slammed on the brakes and pointed it out to the girls, they were unbuckled like they’d been ejected from their seats and were clinging to the window, screeching how cute it was and its adorable likeness to Bambi. And then, of course, asking if we could catch it and keep it. When I said no, that his mom would miss him, they asked if we could just catch him and pet him for a couple of minutes…that was a little harder to say no to.
Stuff like this is just one of the reasons I love living in the country!
