The twins

This mama and her two babies are around here everyday.  Some days we do not see her, but often we do.  We think she stays in the ditch at the corner between us and Dan's down from Clayton's where the dogwood tree is.  We often see here at the edge of the trees at the crest of the hill in that corner.

We haven't seen any of the deer as often since it has been so hot, but today George saw one, probably this mama down by the pond in the middle of the day.  Then about 5 he saw her and the babies walk across Dan's field going east down into the trees in the hallow.  Then, later we saw that one baby at the pond.  We did not see the mother of other baby then, but they were surely in the ditch below the pond.  Later, the two babies were at the salt block but no mama.  She was probably in the ditch out of sight.  Then, we saw her come up out of the ditch, but the babies were  not in sight.  Around 7:30 or so here was mama and both babies down by the fence.  At 8:30 I could just make out the shape of mama still there.  It was too dark to see the babies but they were there somewhere.  This is the most we have seen of them since it got so hot.  They have not even been coming for salt very often.  I  think they may come out more at night, but now it is not that much cooler until early morning.  

It was 110 today.
