Forest Meadow

FOREST MEADOW

I was talking with someone today who mentioned that they lived on Forest Meadow. They made a comment on how that seemed like an oxymoronic name. I had to tell them that I knew exactly what the name meant, that it was the line where the deer came out from the woods into the fields.

And I don't know how the deer do it so stealthily. I'll be sitting in the car, scanning the edge of the woods, and nothing. I'll look down for a moment, then catch movement. They're already out of the woods, into the "forest meadow". Only three times have I been able to catch them at the point of emergence.

I know. What a weird hobby.
