That is the position, the baby goats and lambs like to lay out in the field and scare the daylights out of me, thinking they are dead. As a livestock farmer, however, I have learned over the years how to spot the dearly departed in the pasture. Did you catch Paul Greenberg‘s essay in The New York Times yesterday? I thought of your post about the pesticides at the resort when I read it.
This time of year I sometimes come upon new fawns in the grass by the road I run on. It seems most local people know to leave them alone. Rural Pennsylvanians tend to know deer pretty well, unfortunately for the deer in many cases… But let’s not go there! The smell of the air this time of year is intoxicating. I know that this species of honeysuckle and the rosa multiflora are invasives, but they do smell wonderful…
Oh my goodness! What a day you’ve had.
Great public service announcement regarding the fawn. Thank you!
I hope you gave the rodent (aka kitty present) some hair. (I find that easier to offer than tobacco or sage!)
Thanks for the recommendation! I will!
I was so relieved to learn the fawn was fine!! And, interested to learn about their curious behavior.
Wish I could truly smell that honeysuckle. Here in Arizona it’s too hot for such delicate vines.
There is no perfume that can replicate it!
That nor my other favorite midwestern scent that I miss even more, lilacs!!!
