I looked out the window and saw two, three . . . four . . . no, five. Count them. Five deer.
In previous years, that would not be unusual, but disease and a particularly brutal winter (not this one) have taken a severe toll on our deer population. It was a surprise to see this many. They acted very nervous. They must have seen me move in the window.
The two on my right started to move. The rest soon followed. The one on the far left was a straggler, but was soon putting the motivator into high gear.
Then they were gone.
