Connor, Stuart and I were talking in our bedroom yesterday morning; suddenly Connor yelled “Wow” with his eyes wide open staring out the window.  We saw this big deer walking slowly toward our “barely surviving” apply tree on our backyard hill, and then it started munching on it.  Stuart decided to go downstairs to see if he can scare him away to save the tree.  Connor and I, and Logan briefly, watched the deer through the window for a long time, several minutes.  It was having a stare down with Stuart. Later it finally backtracked and hopped over the fence back up to our neighbor’s direction.
