Big Kitties!

Lately, Rachael has discovered that there are cool things to look at outside. She has seen birds, rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels, and even the occasional "kitty." This particular day, she looked out and saw what we can imagine her thinking of as "big kitties." Two male deer were standing on the deck, looking back at her.

We live in an very suburban city and in my 29 years of living in the city I have NEVER seen any deer. I've heard of an occasional deer getting caught in the below-grade expressway nearby, but I had never laid eyes on one near home. Sure, I've seen lots Up North, but that's different.

Rachael did not seem to think it strange at all for big kitties to be walking around outside on the deck. She seemed to file it away as just another animal that can be found walking across the deck.

Usually, the cats are the ones looking out the window and being entertained by the random wildlife. This day, all the activity happend during one of their numerous naps.
