Hard at play!

For years people have been thanking me for all the hard work I do to maintain the oasis. It's not work to me. It's fun. The hardest part is stressing about water. That's not fun! This meme really sums it up. Nowhere is it truer than at CMO.

But it's always been worth it to me. Today I was delighted to see the doe still alive. She was in an impenetrable thicket near the tank. 

When I finished watering, before heading to town, she was lying down. I probably won't know if she survives. Vultures were still circling when I left.
