Nature thoughts, when you are mowing your lawns, please watch out for the baby bunnies. Also, concerning fawns, it is completely normal to not see mom for hours and maybe longer, the fawn is not normally abandoned and may “cry” because they are curious. Their moms  come back for short visits to feed their babies and then leave so they do not attract predators. Please do not touch the fawn, if you take them  and transport them their survival rate is poor. Take a picture, quietly, and please leave them alone. 

Thank you to our Veterans! Not just today, but every single day! Come out and honor them this Memorial Day.

Please let me know if you have any news to share!
