A young deer quietly stole into our backyard and walked within about 10 feet of my quiet place on the porch. She slowly wandered through on a zig-zag path, stopping now and then to eat some grass. Fireflies dancing around her, cloud lightning occasionally lighting  the sky overhead, she fit right into some amazing scene from a dream sequence of a Broadway show (okay, so maybe I did o.d. a little on the Tony Awards tonight…).

It’s the little gifts like these that just take my breath away. How did I get so lucky as to live in such an amazing place as this?
