Right now we are more hurt than anything, but we have made a few decisions, the first being that we are going to continue with our farm as usual, and allow God to care for things in his own time. Doesn't mean having made that decision takes away all the hurt caused to us.
Anyway, we found something today....reminded me that God is in control of everything, because normally we wouldn't have been walking where we were walking today, and Ernie and I had taken a walk this morning just to clear our minds so to speak....we came upon a fawn stuck in our fence. It was twisted up and the fence had cut to the bone.
We freed the fawn and left it, hoping the mom would come back. A little while later we went back, and he was still there, bawling, and no mom. Ernie was afraid a coyote would come in and get him, and since as soon as we got close to him the little bugger jumped and tried to run, we figured he deserved a fighting chance. So he's now in my shed.....
He's so beautiful! Quite scared of us, and his fur is sticky with pine sap. But still, beautiful. Since this picture was taken, we have bandaged his leg to stop the bleeding. We've also put a call into the Ohio Department of Wildlife, as we don't want to be in trouble for him being here, and we called the Sheriff's department who said we can file for a permit to keep him. He said the Dept. of Wildlife will regulate what we can do with him. I.E., keep him as a pet or raise him up for food (I'm hoping for the latter) and the sheriff deputy cracked up laughing when I said I'd hope they'd let us eat him. He said, "Sounds good to me!"
