My deer friend…
A doe had twins in out yard last year. Since then, the family of three would visit on and off, and these days, they come by one at a time. One of the two yearlings I named Martha, and she did her morning stroll through my garden this morning. The magic of it all, is that instead of running off, the young deer approached me and stood only about ten feet away, watching me watch her.

Two colors make porcupine…
Purple Porcupine
Recently discovered Jane Davenport’s mermaid markers (watersoluble inks!), and I can’t. get. enough. I purchased three sets from Michael’s (one in store and two online), because they are prone to running out of them. I think I should have enough to last me a little while. They certainly won’t go to waste…
