Our backyard, Bambi's toilet.

I just left a comment on one of the blogs I consistently read, Austen's to be specific (http://lumpybump.blogspot.com)

It made me think about the season's changing here. It's starting, some of the trees are dropping leaves and turning colors. The view from our new house is going to be spectacular. Our back porch overlooks our backyard, which is right up against a big creek. All that's on the other side is a big hill with no development. It reminds me of my hometown, where people actually drove for hours to see the trees. It seemed a little silly to me, but then again I was the one raking up the dead leaves from the backyard. I appreciate the view because autumn never lasts long enough. It always seems like it goes from sandals to snow boots in a week.

Last night Mom got all excited because she saw a deer in our backyard down near the creek. She called me over and was saying "awww, it's so cute." I took a quick look, and then pointed out that it was in the process of taking a dump-- which she hadn't noticed.

Ahh. The beauty of nature ;)
