We, here in western Pennsylvania, have been witnessing some great summer weather. The morning temperatures are in the fifty degree comforts. I, and sometimes Laurie, have walked about a half a dozen times in the last two weeks. How could I be expected to set and paint or work on a precious day like this. 
I needed to visit my sister this morning so the walk was planned early and near her residence. I elected to walk the Frog Pond Road near the Simpson Church. (This church was built in 1893.) I believe this area still to be in Cowanshannock Township. 
Two fawns.
The early morning held a fairly thick fog, but the sun in short order began to burn the fog off. I saw a number of rabbits and a couple of gray squirrels. I saw eleven deer in total, four of which were fawns. I was blessed to watch them play and case each other. I saw two flocks of turkeys. One flock yielded a few poults to my view. The other flock, probably, had some babies, but the high vegetation would not allow seeing any. 
The round-trip venture was around four miles possibly a little more. The morning was quiet and comfortable and not one vehicle came past me while walking along the road. This is a rare treat!
