As hot as it was we suited up and walked in the woods. We spooked this little fawn but once it jumped up and ran in circles it got really curious about us and came pretty close. There was no sign of the mother. We were standing as still as possible. After a while I threw it one of the Beechnuts I had picked up and I spooked it again but it came back to check us out once more and then just bent its knees and sat down in the ferns.
When Bill Jones died a few years back, Fred Lipp bought his wife a tree to plant in their yard. Maureen Church, a longtime student, remembered that gesture and asked if we wanted to go in on a cherry tree for Fred’s family. We dug the hole today and planted the tree. His daughter, Janet, promised to send us a picture when it blossoms in the Spring.

Beautiful gesture! You planted it at Fred’s and his wife’s home? Do you have any pictures?
We planted it at Fred’s daughter Janet’s house. It felt like we were doing the right thing. Thanks for the kind words, Donna. Thanks Paul, for posting this also!
Beautiful gesture. He is sorely missed…
