Hot Bambis.

Enduring a mini heat wave - frankly, we had expected this sooner, but June was relatively mild. Went to a 4th of July party at a neighbor's property in "Cherry Acres," a part of Cool outside the Auburn Lake Trails development, where 2-5 acres are typical, and almost everyone is keeping horses. Met a suprising number of residents who had arrived within the last year.
It's birthing season here the foothills and there baby animals everywhere: wild turkeys, grouse, rabbits, and deer. Our house has a shaded front lawn, and most days a deer will take a lay-down next to our front porch for an hour or so. The other day there was a doe with 2 fawns.
