I had a wonderful soak this morning. The temperature was about 40 degrees, and the fog was just lifting from the woods behind my house.
As I sat quietly in the tub (no jets), I watched a beautiful buck with a huge rack walk out of the woods. He laid down right in front of the thick brush so I could really see him clearly. After a few minutes a young doe walked up to him and then continued on. He really made my soak, he was so majestic and peaceful. I thought how lucky I was to be able to relax and enjoy nature right from my back deck.
Soon after, I was on my way to school and noticed a very smashed white van on the side of the road. The hood was completely caved in and both headlights were gone. It was pretty evident that it was a deer accident. A short way down the road I saw another large buck (much bigger than my friend in the woods) laying on the side of the road. What a contrast....
The beautiful creatures that made my soak so special became a nightmare for someone else. :-/
