When I went to the laundry room to start a load of clothes in the washer today, I remembered there was a contest going on about What's Under the Sink, proof that I  can blog about anything.

We then go into the house and when we came out the fawn was in the yard waiting for us. He continued to pet the small deer until we were ready to go.  The poor thing was so skinny and must have been hungry and we had nothing to feed him.  Seems … (14 comments)
