Spring n Deer

Today I'm very happy because regardless of what the calendar says, I know that spring is here because the deer have returned to my backyard from their wintering grounds.

Late Spring

This year, our spring and summer seems to have been delayed by several weeks. I don't recall seeing the gaspereau (Alewife) ever running this late. I also found parts of turtle eggs, from a recent hatching, on the shore. This deer doesn't seem to mind the funny weather, but was put off by my arrival.
