Living away from the city

One of the joys of lifting in Saline is that we're out in the boonies. Saline is a town of about 7500 located about 5 miles southwest of Ann Arbor. Surrounding Saline is nothing but farmland. We live in the northwest corner of Saline on a cul de sac. On either end of it is woods which back up to fields. I leave my house about 5:45am or so; of course, it's still dark. This is a great time to observe the sky and wild life. This morning, while the wet snow was falling, I passed a doe and two fawns in the yard of a house at the entrance to our cul de sac. The two fawns were playing with each other while the doe was watching my car.

It was a nice way to start the week.
