A new visitor to the backyard.

Dear Diary,

This sweet little one was grazing on the newly sprouted grass when I came down this morning.  What a treat to see!  It looks, however, as if she had a hard winter,  poor thing.  I will go to the feed and grain store today to get some high protein deer feed to give her a little boost.  It was hard to get a photograph of her as deer are very skittish.  I was happy to get this one.

There is no happiness like that of being loved by your fellow creatures, and feeling that your presence is an addition to their comfort.

It is always an adventure here.  I never know what will wander into my yard.  It makes each day something to look forward to.  Our rain has subsided for the time being and it looks like warmer temperatures as well.  I hope there is no rain tomorrow as it is the annual Rubber Ducky Derby in Cornish and I would like to go but it will be held, rain or no rain.  Rubber Duckies don't mind!
