Life has been busy in the mountains. Most of the Does have had their first fawns..and are bringing them to visit each morning and evening.  Erica We discovered a group of feral cats that we have been trapping, taking to the veterinarian,  and spaying or neutering and releasing near our property.  Taz Taz had kittens so we also had to catch them. Thankfully, they were young enough to be taught to trust people and were adopted into homes. Taz's kittens Schmozey ( Daddy cat) Roadway (Mom)  The kids have especially enjoyed watching the cats chase fireflies each evening.  We are so thankful for all of God's creation.
