Have you ever heard a deer cry? It's heart wrenching! Yesterday I went for a lunchtime ride and as I was pedaling along the road to the trail I saw a line of cars stopping in the middle of the road. I kept watching, and one by one a group of deer crossed the road. When they were safely across, the cars started up. But, being on a bike closer to the side of the road, I could see down the embankment and there was a little fawn down there crying and wailing looking terrified. So sad.

My spirits quickly picked up when I hit the dirt and was treated to some fun and great views.





It's been chilly out and winter is definitely approaching. Last night I rode home from the pool to find Derek sitting in front of our fireplace...with a fire going! Wow, that's the first one of the year.
