We saw deer around the house for the first time yesterday, and Alex watched right from her room as they browsed for goodies in our non-deer-friendly garden. We had three does and a fawn who hung out and nibbled grass for about ten minutes before trotting off to greener gardens. And now we're trying to teach Alex that deer means many as well as one deer. Well, we'll get there eventually.

She talked non-stop about Adam and Auntie Wu Wu today, mostly around the compost pile for some strange reason.......
