I was visiting a friend last Friday for the purpose of making cards. A heavy rain had fallen mid-morning and we were at the table, cutting and pasting. My back was to her double glass doors, but she noticed a movement outside and then we saw a doe with twins standing about twenty yards or so stepping out of heavy foliage.

What a treat! We kept our eyes on them and the doe was taking every precaution before moving again. She saw us in the doorway and stood motionless for around five minutes or so. Her little ones were moving about but without their spots we might not have noticed them. Finally, she moved a little at a time with the little guys following until they went out of sight.

When I see something like that it amazes me how God created all the animals, both big and small for man’s pleasure. Each so beautiful and intelligent it demands appreciation for all He has made. How beautifully and gracefully the doe moved along….keeping her eyes on her fawns and any danger that might appear. It was just wonderful to see them.

Getting back to our card-making we both agreed it was a special sight we just witnessed. She lives six miles out of the City Limits and with all the open fields and dense woods the deer are safe until hunting season. I always hate when that rolls around.

I’ll have to look and see if I can find some pictures to place with this. If not, hopefully the note will paint a picture along with your imagination.

Happy Monday to all.
