The Guardians


Yesterday, that girl and I drove up to the cabin to finish up a little wiring and sheet the last unfinished kitchen wall in preparation for applying a faux tile product.  After a few hours of work, we took a break from our work and hiked up the mountain behind the cabin to check on my neighbor’s cordwood-construction sauna.

Just as we arrived at the sauna, we bumped into a pair of mule deer.  The deer bounced off to a slightly greater distance when we approached within thirty or so feet, but hung around us as that girl and I stood near the sauna, talking and admiring the look of the project.

All is well at the top of the mountain and the mule deer have taken to guarding the perimeter.

Posted is a photograph of the deer near the sauna.
