from Lorraine to her friends Datum: maandag 30 september 2002 19:19
My son called me to come to the window of my front door - and there were four deer and one little baby. They were all munching on my weeds! (Much better than a lawn mower - we do not have a lawn mower since we moved to Connestee, N.C.).
They were completely unafraid. There has been no hunting in Connestee for fourteen years. I could see their faces and big brown eye so clearly. They looked sleek and gentle. It gave us such a warm feeling to be so close to these creatures.
How wonderful it is to live in harmony with nature. (I suppose that is what it was like in the Galapagos Islands where the wild creatures didn't used to have any fear of human beings.)
The deer have a "run" from my house through the woods at the side of my house and down the ravine of the mountain. I have seen them traverse this run before, but never so close to the house.
Unfortunately, a developer is going to take down a lot of those trees in that lot next door to me. They plan to build another home right there. I feel sad with the thought that more of this beautiful woodland will be lost forever.
