Roadrunner

When we were sitting at our dining room table this morning, we suddenly noticed a road runner sitting in a ‘shovel bird’ feeder we made and have attached to the deck railing! I ran to get a camera, as it and my phone were both in the office. I was 10 seconds too late. By the time I got back, the road runner had moved to the side railing and by the time I got my camera ready, he had jumped off into the grass.

Here you can see the shovel bird where the road runner was sitting in the shovel part. I wish I could have captured the moment for you.

Beautiful Sight

We took Amber, our 93 pound lab ‘puppy’ with us in the truck as we did our errands yesterday.

Amber

She goes nuts when she hears the words, ‘go,’ or ‘car’, so she followed us out and jumped up into the back seat of the truck as soon as we opened the door for her. She doesn’t care where we’re going, she just wants to go with us.

We were almost home when FOUR does ran across the road in front of the truck. Three went across in a small parade and then one was hesitant. She followed soon after. We’ve passed deer beside the road before, but Amber didn’t notice them because they didn’t move. This time she got all excited, wanting to go out and play with them.  She didn’t bark to scare them.

The deer got safely across the road and we continued on to our driveway, feeling lucky to have shared such a beautiful sight!

Feeling Close to Nature

When I was driving to get a massage this morning, I caught something at the corner of my vision. I slowed to find FIVE deer wanting to cross the road. Since I know deer tend to follow each other regardless of the circumstances, I just waited to see what they would do. The first deer crossed with no problem. The other four suddenly decided to follow the first. When they had crossed the road, I slowly started up again. When I was abreast of them, I saw a SIXTH deer still on the left side of the road, trying to decide if it should cross or not. I got past, so I kept going. I’m hoping the last one got across safely. What a beautiful sight!
