How many times I’ve looked out the front window and watched people passing by, or cars and trucks or fire engines or the morning school bus taking children to school. This morning, it was still dark as I was just about to sit down in my reading chair when I looked out the window and saw three deer under the street light standing there on the grass, leisurely feeding on the acorns fallen from the tree next door. Now and then they raised heads carefully to look around. I wished them well and said a prayer for their safe return home to the woods nearby. A few minutes later, I looked again and they were gone.
It’s kinda magical to me to be living in close proximity to the beauty in nature’s wild animals and now and again to observe deer and foxes and rabbits and herons and hawks, and Canadian geese flying high from golf club to golf club! And it’s reassuring, too.
