An adorable fawn came to visit our yard in Orrington this week, walking out into the open before running for his mother.

When my husband, Jim, and I walked into our backyard to investigate the sound of a bleating fawn, we expected to see a spotted back in the tall grass of the woods, or a pair of ears that were barely visible. We were not prepared for an encounter that was, honestly, kind of magical.
