Got to love the Country!

Tonight, was one of our typical boring Friday nights as an official old married couple. Brent got home from work late and I did not feel like making supper, so off to Gil's to pick up a to-go order. We LOVE Gil's. Brent and I both got our usual menu items. I was busy catching up on the 15 tons of laundry that I have been putting off all week, so I sent Brent to pick it up. I went outside for just a minute when he was gone to place an empty 5 gallon water bottle on the porch for Brent to turn in tomorrow when something caught my eye. When I looked down at the dam this large doe (female deer) was standing on the dam looking straight up at me and the dog. She just really did not care that we were there and then carried on eating leaves off of the weeds or little trees on the dam. It was beautiful. Funny thing is this is what Brent lives for out here and he was gone! Brent was very upset when I told him when he returned, but we also had that same fox return for a short visit tonight so Brent was happy about that.
