Unexpected Dinner Guests

Late yesterday afternoon while cooking supper (yes, I call it “supper” — so I’m old and grew up in the country), I looked out the back windows and saw three unexpected guests. Aren’t they beautiful? I ran to grab my camera fully expecting them to be gone by the time I got back, but they weren’t! I knew that if I opened the door they would be gone before I could snap a single photo, so I shot them through the windows. They watched me watching them for a long time. Three beautiful does. They nibbled on the shrubs at the rear of the yard for a while and then ambled off into the wooded lot next door. Hope they found something tasty for dinner. By the time that I re-focused on cooking, ours was umm…just a little scorched.
