Deer

A small deer has found our apple tree. Jilda called yesterday to tell me about it. She said it was a very young deer about the size of our big dog. She said he ate apples off the ground and low hanging fruit from the tree.
Today she called to say he was back. I really can't blame him because the apples are really scrumptious. Our pairs are coming in too, and there are some as big as softballs. He'll probably find them if he keeps coming around.
I have a lot of friends that are hunters and I respect that. They all are mindful of the environment and they eat what they take. But I'm not a hunter.
I guess I'm a wuss because I just cannot bring myself to shoot an animal. I did hunt for a while when I was growing up, but it just wasn't right for me. It never felt right and so I leave that pastime to others.
Tomorrow evening The Overalls play at Local Color in Springville. If any of my friends are out and about, feel free to come by. The food is good and we always strive to put on a good show.
Have a great weekend.
