Our second family

This past spring we had a doe give birth to twin fawns in our yard. Unfortunately there has been a drought this past spring, summer, and fall causing a food shortage among the wildlife. After our little family of deer showed up in our yard all skin and bones we decided to feed them a little. They have become our adoptive family. Since feeding them they have put on a few pounds and they just might make it through the winter. We sometimes give them apples and here was a picture of them coming up to our doorstep for their afternoon treat.

Too bad my 2 apple trees didn't have any fruit this year, or you'd have buckets full to feed the deer! I'll bet your girls love watching them.
