As I Was Saying -------

We had a storm last night and the photos here show what I was saying about the peach trees being so easily damaged.

The photo on the left is from our front orchard and between the weight of the peaches and the wind, the old tree just couldn't take it.

The photo on the right is of our back orchard and shows some more trees that split during the storm.  I didn't zoom in on them because I thought the rainbow was way more interesting to look at!  If you look closely, you can see that it touches down inside the orchard!

A careful search of the area did not result in the finding of any treasure!

Separation Anxiety

I happened to glance out the window a few minutes ago and saw a small fawn tearing around the back orchard. Seems mama had jumped the fence separating the orchard from the hay field but the baby just couldn't quite make it and couldn't find any other way to get out.

I took several photos of the fawn racing around the fenceline with mama running from one area to another trying to be there when the fawn finally found its way out.

It shouldn't have been too hard for the little one to have gotten out as the deer have almost wrecked the fence and it desperately needs repair or probably replacement. There have been so many fawns coming and going over the years that there are some pretty good-sized holes of stretched out wire in various places. This fawn finally found one of them and was off like a shot through the hay field and headed for the woods!
