Friday was Two Day

This morning, Sunday June 26, there were two Goldfinches on our deck. We haven't been putting out bird seed for a while now but there they were hopping around on the floor of the deck picking up what they could that was leftover. They are such pretty birds, even the female is. So why were both the male and the female here? Do they have a family? Is it grown up already?
Actualy the Two that the title refers to are deer. On Friday while I was on my way home I debated, 'should I go this way the rest of the way home or that. I went with this and lo and behold there was a mother and her fawn. That is the first fawn that I have seen in a very very long time. I did not see them for very long, they were in the ditch and I did not see them till I was within fifty feet or so. At eighty km per how long does it take to travel fifty feet? Not long. I couldn't stop and even in that short time I could see that the mother had decided that it was time to head out of the open territory back into the cover of the trees. But the fawn was so cute! It was a darker colour than its mother and of course it had white spots lots of spots, very white spots; white enough that you wonder how it can loose itself from sight even in the trees.
