Puppy barking just before dawn. I let Sasha out and she bolts for the fence. Sure enough, the mother doe and her fawn.

It’s a nice morning. Feed the dog and cats, then take out a raw beef bone for Sasha. She’s excited. We go out back.

I sit with her. She’s laying in the grass, gnawing away. The sun is rising. The morning is peaceful.

Hey look… bats catching a morning meal.

Bzzzzzzzzz…. ah cool! At the feeder just a yard from my head, a hummingbird came to feed.

Sweet peaceful silence of the morning Just me and the critters.
