Any given morning, Jerry and I can open our door to find four to ten deer munching on acorns in our front yard. One day as we were enjoying coffee on our porch, we were spellbound when a beautiful doe and her baby, quietly walking out of the woods, joined us for breakfast as we sat ten feet away. Not wanting to make any sudden moves, all of us—even Samantha, our miniature schnauzer—watched in silence. Every once in a while, the mom or the baby would glance up at us making sure we could still be trusted. They only scurried away when I shifted in my chair.
