I took Tennessee Petunia for her walk this morning. It was very warm and very cloudy, but not everywhere. The sunrise was brilliant to the east, and five minutes later Tennie was under a bush and I was under a tree to escape the deluge. The thunder clap and the lightning up ahead convinced me the tree idea was not such a good one.
We set off for home in the pouring rain. I was crossing Mitchell Blvd. heading east, when a deer bounded across the street on my left. She stopped in our tiny park.
Where did she come from? It would make sense if she lived on the VA grounds, but did she cross the pedestrian bridge over the freeway? Did she come up the Menomonee River, crossing Wisconsin Avenue and Bluemound Rd. on the way? Did she wander across the Miller Park parking lot?
Hmmm….
