About Deer at the Edge
At the last light of day, when the yard goes still and the shadows stretch long, a deer steps from the tree line with the unhurried calm of something that has done this a thousand evenings before. A doe may lead, a spotted fawn close behind, while a buck hangs back in the thicket, turning his rack to catch a sound only he can hear. The grass at the meadow's edge holds the warmth of the afternoon, and for a few quiet minutes, the world outside the window feels like a gift.
