Who would have believed it!
Way back in July 2012, I posted the following item.

Dear Readers of Learning from Dogs.
Today, Jeannie and I are off on a trip to Oregon.
We expect to be away for about the next 10 or 11 days.
While there are a number of new posts that will come out during this period, rather than have quiet days with nothing being posted, some days I will be republishing posts from the last three years; hopefully most of them new to your eyes.
Inevitably, responding promptly to comments will be tough.
Which is why I am so grateful to Martin Lack of Lack of Environment who graciously agreed to keep an eye on things while we are away.

That was twenty-six months ago.
Yesterday morning, Jean and I took Reggie and Chris down to our creek area to feed some wild deer that have been congregating in recent days.
After Jean had sprinkled some cracked corn on the ground, one of the seven deer around us started feeding and when it looked up at me, I took the following picture.
Can’t ever imagine living anywhere else now.
Funny how life runs!
Learning from Dogs 
I am glad you found a happy place to set down roots.

If that’s not serendipity, I don’t know what else is. Hope you find many more such happy moments. Incidentally, I love deer and refuse to watch any TV programs that show them being hunted.

I was a big Bambi fan back in 1945 when I saw the movie. It’s all in Chapter 2 – Bambi at the Mayfair Theatre on my blog site. Now, I remember our source of food in the winter…deer meat! So, even though I loved deer as a kid, I also knew a deer was survival food.

Christine, that’s most interesting and I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking that. Oh, I took the liberty of including a link to your blog site within your comment.

What a beautiful moment captured for all time.. And one you will both remember 🙂 But you know what I also think about consequences Paul.. You create with your intent.. Both you and Jean with your love of nature are only reaping the consequences of your own kind sharing thoughts and love of nature.. As she brings you her abundance to your door.. 🙂
Blessings to you both..
Hugs Sue

Oh Sue, I do wish you would stop making a grown man cry! 😉 Seriously, what I do know is living a life surrounded by loving dogs has gifted me an awareness of the animal kingdom beyond all recognition from what I understood previously. Another pearl from Jean.
