Thank you for writing this story. Seeing in words what it's like on this property makes me love it all the more, and I adore little Dewey and our Mabel who I could watch for hours.

This reminds me of the solitude I find when I’m out of the city and on the island each summer. I’ve got deer on one side and seals on the other, and peaceful creativity somewhere in the middle. ☮️

What lovely pictures you paint with your words! That's also a great view you have from your window.

A beautiful piece Michelle. This loner over here is a combination of all. Squirrels and birds staying out of the way of the stray cats that inhabit the patch of grass now covered with snow again.

Many say a picture is worth a 1000 words but your words in this story brought the pictures to life

This makes me miss my deer friends at the other place we lived. They keep more of a distance here. I had a loner hen too, Lucky. I am comfortable being on my own but have social butterfly wings as well. I sometimes struggle with finding balance with these polar opposite characteristics. Love, love, love you’re stories I can relate to do well.
