I keep hoping little fawns will be born under their protection. I "build" them a bit with that in mind, as we did when my family had Deer Valley all those years ago.

My mother said I never did have enough sense to come in out of the rain. But my senses had everything to do with me staying outside--LOL!! <br /><br />I am glad you moved your brush pile.
