DEER Diary

... That's right! I spelled it wrong. Once again I had one of God's lovely creatures scare the livin' crap out of me... Steve and I were running in the depths of the wooded trails at lake Harbor Park tonight and I had run ahead while Steve stopped to empty his shoes of beach sand from our jaunt along the shore. (Why am I always alone when the fun stuff happens???)... So I round a corner looking down and before I knew it I was looking at the back side of a big beautiful deer. White tail in the air and, no joke only about two feet from me... Like a bolt of lightning it darted away. In about 2 seconds it was at the top of a wooded trail, standing proud with the sun shining through the trees. My heart was racing! It felt like hours before Steve came around the corner and I couldn't believe he didn't see it. I swear... I am like a deer magnet in those woods. I love it though! Fun times, racing heartbeat and all...
