Just a Little Note

   
 So this morning I had a little brush with nature again.

Mom was driving me to work this morning and as we pulled to a stop at the bottom of our hill, I saw a deer cross the street into someone's lawn. It wasn't completely out of the ordinary, but I found it interesting that I had just come down from a rural road where deer often frequent, to downtown where the animals under the "wild" category consist mostly of squirrels and crows. It was just a neat beginning to my day.

     And on the way home, just before pulling up to our driveway, a mother turkey crossed the road with  dozen or so of her poults. Again, not strange but just a nice welcome home. 

     I think I'm going to miss all of these little joys that come with living rurally once I go to college. But.. being a biology major, maybe I'll still get to enjoy nature a little bit :) Boy these next three weeks are going to go by fast!
