Just looked out my window to see a mama deer with her little brand new baby coming out of my adjoining wooded land on to my lawn,. It's been so cold here for so long ,I thought we were never going to get nice sunny weather. Today is one of those glorious blue sky sunny 70 degree weather. As I usually check my computer first thing in the AM, I always look out the window to see where " my herd" are and what they are doing. There are seven of them this year. I never know how many are going to survive the cold winter and road kill, until late spring. They continue to return,each year as they find safety in the fenced in 3 acres. They come in through the front gate of the property, or I've seen them jump the 5 ft chain link fence that surrounds the area The past two years I've told about the two sets of twins born. But this year they were very late coming back. I was beginning to think they had all been killed off. Hunting is illegally in Lake Elmo,but we are getting more traffic as more houses are built. But this is the first one and ,a singleton, and almost "frisky" ,like a puppy. I've seen the mama deer "checking out the spot apparently" for the last 2 weeks,since it's bout 60 ft from my computer room window. It'll be fun to watch them grow up again. Lots of good stuff to eat this year with all the rain. Helen Miller Fisher **************Get trade secrets for amazing burgers. Watch "Cooking with Tyler Florence" on AOL Food.
