OK, so I lie!

No sooner had I walked out of the den after completing my blog post for the day (stating that there would be no pictures) when I turned my head to take a peek out the livingroom slider and this is what I saw:


Aren't they just the sweetest!!

I know very little about deer, but I am assuming that these two are yearlings, recently booted out to make room for Mom's next litter. They were very cautious, but also very caring of one another, watching every move that I made:

I wish I had caught a picture of them as they ran off, white tails held high like flags. Most of our neighbors consider the White Tails to be pests as they really do a job on their gardens. They were headed for my hydrangea, which I am told, deer consider to be a delicacy, but C and I have the opinion that they were here before we were, so we are in fact invading their territory. I love to see them, think they are beautiful, and have never been a victim to their nibbling! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh: it was a joyous sight for me!

Here's numero quatro in my series:


The paper towels seem to lend themselves to poppyish flowers, so I am attempting to let them do their thing. I've torn the edges on these girls, and while I thought the lower right one would be the best, I am now thinking that the top flower is the best. What do you think???? I am particularly drawn to the vibrant colors in the top 'flower' but I don't like the size of the stitched cirlce (too large). I will try again......but I truly had not intended for these to be flowers: they have just grown into them all by their own selves! Please leave comments and let me know your honest thoughts!!!


PEACE
