The sun started to set so I decided to head down to the creek to see if our resident deer were there.
There are about ten in the group and they definitely weren't happy to see me....or the dogs.
I wanted to leave them in peace so headed back up the path.....but the sky was starting to turn a beautiful color and I couldn't pass up a sunset.
I stopped at the gate halfway between the property to take pictures .....and fight mosquitoes.
Within minutes the sky turned purple.....then black... and I was standing in the field, hundreds of feet from the house. It's pitch black and all I can hear are the mosquitoes buzzing my ears, something moving in the tall grass behind me and the dogs playing in the dark. I made my way through the thigh high grass and oak trees back to the house. Next time I decided to stay out after dark I will wear repellent and bring a flashlight. I'm not a scardycat but I was a little creeped out by all the noises I was hearing. Plus my little 15 lb. dogs are owl and coyote snacks. We all made it home safe and sound......and bug bitten.
