Yesterday afternoon we had a huge rain storm. Afterwards, we ran around the house to open all the windows. I'm not good with distance, so maybe 200 yards out from the house I saw what looked like a deer but it didn't look right. I grabbed my trusty binoculars, raised them to my eyes, and witnessed a doe giving birth to a fawn.

It was incredible!

We watched her for 45 minutes, as she patiently licked her fawn clean, encourged him/her to milk, and even got to see the first steps.

She and the fawn stayed in that same area until about two hours ago, and then they started grazing. I have heard they usuallg have twins, but saw no evidence of another fawn.

Truly a remarkable experience for the kids!

Oh my goodness!!! Paula that is incredible. The odds of seeing something so miraculous -- one would have a better chance of winning the lottery. WOW!! I hope you got some pictures.

Could you send some of that rain down here to Georgia

I can't get my digital camera to work. My future dh has been moving stuff here so I grabbed his 35mm camera and took pictures. Of course, I don't know how to take the film out , so I have to wait to see him tonight. So I should be able to get them developed tomorrow.

Hope you get some rain, too!
