At about 5 am I woke to the sound of song birds greeting the morning sun.  It was a nice cool morning and I was snug under my blankets.   I love living here.  Then I heard rocks crashing and a deer making whatever that noise is.   I heard more rocks.  Just behind my house is a mule deer and bobcat having at it.  The deer was chasing the bobcat.  She was not chasing it off, she was trying to kill it.  It hid under some shrubs but the deer persisted.   All that ruckus sent my dog into a fit.  She started to bark and howl.   There was no shutting her up.   Then my daughter woke up, knocking something over in her room.  I heard a huge crash.   The dog was really excited.  She was running back and forth barking.  The deer and bobcat were still at it outside.   Finally the interlopers outside went on over the ridge. The dog calmed down and Renee cleaned up whatever fell in her room.  It was now 5:30 am.   So glad I came out here for the peace and quiet.
