The coolest thing we saw today

The deer moved in this fall and think they’ve found a sweet deal in their new digs. This is everywhere.

Scat!

It’s in the road, all over the meadows, scattered across our front lawn, in the fenced backyard. You can’t walk 10 feet without running into deer poop. Which also means these are all over:

We’ve seen a group of does with a 3-point buck. But the other morning we were having breakfast when DJ’s jaw dropped and he pointed at the window (sorry for the reflection).

“Big deer,” Li’l E said.

It was easily the coolest thing we saw that day, all while sipping our morning coffee.
