Ozark - those are really little footprints!

Pollengarden - CUTE! CUTE! CUTE!

The deer visit our yard year-'round and it's definitely a juggling act. We love seeing them and they enjoy the corn...and leftover bird seed, but occasionally they also partake in the "buffet" of flowers and greenery growing in my garden. I try to mostly grow deer-resistant plants and spritz regularly with Liquid Fence.

One of our local does has been bringing her baby around on occasion. The first time (see pics below) the fawn was a newborn and all wobbly-legged. A couple of days ago the now, "little-bit-older" fawn was practicing running...back-and-forth, forth-and-back, over-and-over. I didn't get any pics, but it was funny and so cute.

These aren't the clearest shots, but I didn't want to scare them off and took most of the pics through a window.
