Deer and Mercer Lane

A few pictures to share today. The deer are two different bucks that I'm thrilled made it thru hunting season, the first pic of the deer and wish you could see him better is missing part of his antler, broke it in a fight, he's sweet, he runs with a fawn that he has taken under his wing. The fawn lost her mother earlier this year to a predator I guess, she had a dislocated hip and would limp and she had been coming to the property with this bad leg for several years. She raised twin fawns every year. I'm afraid I don't know what happened to the other fawn. The other deer is just such a beautiful buck, he stays back, but will come up to drink when I put warm water out. Hope I find these antlers when they are shed, my husband, Jim, when he was well, use to make buttons for me from them. Now I like to display them in the house to remind me of such beautiful creatures.

And to add some quilting news, yea, I finished the top of Mercer Lane, will machine quilt it next weekend after I receive a blue backing fabric from Sue Spargo's Terra line.
