Finding Zucchini, Walking With a Butterfly and a Close Encounter With Deer (And an Editor)

19. Finding an eight-inch zucchini and five tiny zucchinis in my container Victory garden. While they're not ready for picking now, they will be soon!

18 . The black butterfly with blue-edged wings that followed me on a walk.

17. The doe and two fawns who surprised me at the edge of the patio. We stared at each other for about half a minute until my phone rang. The deer turned and bounded down the hill, through the raspberries, as I began speaking to an editor.
