As we were sitting down to dinner, our small herd of deer wandered into the backyard. First our set of twin fawns, all grown up, followed their mama...then the others appeared. The singleton fawn, one we had not seen for a long time, showed up with her mama...then the rest of the herd came by. We saw 8 or 9 deer. All very healthy looking, and all dressed in their winter color which is kind of a dark-gray-brown. A few of the mamas were also growing some denser hair...it's going to be winter in the mountains soon and they are getting ready. Alas, no pictures of the deer, just a fond memory.
Today I watched the leaves falling like rain every time there was a breeze. The leaves no longer protect us from the wind as they do in the summer. One more piece of evidence that the season is changing.
