In Montana, we have two seasons, Winter and July. I know I’ve complained about this before. I am at my lap-top with a fan blowing on me at regular intervals, a smaller green fan clamped to the table that blows across the keyboard and a third fan beneath my computer.
I have a flowerbed and a few potted plants that seem to be very happy. The squirrel thermometer that guest stars on my blog post during the winter has sweltered under days reaching into the 90s. We are still figuring out how to go about home repairs after the record setting hailstorm.
Yesterday morning, I was at my lap-top and was startled by a young buck who had nudged right up to the window to see what I was doing. I knocked on the floor.
We have a special code that brings whoever hears it, up the steps and into my presence. This is a power that I enjoy. My Darling Husband came up obediently. Gotta Love Him.
I shushed him and motioned toward the two bucks in the yard. He took the camera and began snapping photos from the front door. Then as he handed it back, the fellow at the plum bush turned. Then boldly saddled up to the window and eyed me again. Yes, I got his mug-shot. If you see this juvenile in your yard, beware, the fellow is bold.
What are they up to? I imagine they are suggesting a scene in one of my novels or short stories. Maybe, one of my characters will come face-to-face with a very aggressive buck.
Till next time, be well, comment if you wish and keep coming back.

Aha! Thanks for that – if I ever see one I won’t look it in the eye and run like all hell! LOL 😉
We don’t have anything like this little guy at our farm.
I’m wondering why you find him such a threat? Or do you? I’d be tempted to give him a treat. Would that be a bad thing? Are they considered pests like we consider rabbits and foxes to be pests to our flora and fauna here in Australia?
*Curiouser and curiouser*
Oh my, Zak, have you ever thought of becoming a shrink? LOL
Yes, a deer can trample a person. Some are agressive. They also get into stores, run into vehicles and they eat from the gardens. They are awesome to watch but not so nice when they get on the wrong side of the view.
