Mama Deer & Twin Fawns!

We haven't kept our southern fields mowed this year, and guess who now calls the bottom of our property "home"!! As the title suggests, a Mama Deer & her Twin Fawns from this year, and also last year's baby! We are so enjoying watching these little ones grow!

Just before this picture the babies were frolicking just like little baby goats.

Peeking throught the front door window to watch the babies on the driveway!

Funny Thayne sneaking up the stairs!

Mama deer grazing near the playground...unknowingly prey to the greatest hunter on our 5 acres!

This is at about 9 o'clock at night. Which, at this time of year, the sun is only just setting. There was an unbelievably huge cloud wall overtaking all of our area.

June 3, 2008 - Hat Day

Today was Lily's 2nd day of gymnastics Safari Camp. It was Hat Day. Tomorrow is 'Bring A Friend Day', and Lily chose Horton! Royce sent us a package yesterday and guess what was in it! An ACU hat with our last name and Royce's rank embroidered on it! There couldn't have been any better timing or any hat more special than that for Lily to use!

Herb seeds!

On Sunday, June 1, Lily and I planted heirloom seeds from CherryGal.com in our little tabletop greenhouse. Today we have more than 35 sprouting plants! We planted...Dill, Stevia, Parsley, Rosemary, Thyme & St. John's Wort. They are all in little rows, with little signs on toothpicks at the end of each row! In our herb garden, we planted plants that Grammy Marilyn & Papa Michael brought us...Parsley, Basil & Sage...and some Catnip from Heidi! At either end of the garden, we sowed Chamomile & Lavender seeds...and they are all sprouting! I'll take some pics in the future and post them!
