I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects. View more posts

Thanks so much, Lynette! They’re everywhere in my neighborhood which is a mixed blessing. On Saturday when we were out walking, someone totaled their car slamming on the brakes and swerving to avoid hitting a deer. I’m not sure how fast they were going, but they crashed into a power pole and took out the electricity for several blocks but not mine.

Yes, my neighbor heard from the police officer that the deer ran off unharmed and the guy who totaled his car and I believe there was a passenger in the car were both also okay. I’m guessing they were both sore. I walked that way late this afternoon and saw the Mama and one of her fawns crossing the street. I wondered where the other one was so we waited to see and sure enough, he was there and ran across the street alone while we were watching. I was trying to signal to cars to slow down but who knows if they were paying attention.

I’m glad to hear that they (and the deer) were okay. And the totalled car? I guess that why we have insurance!

We don’t see many deer around here, but we have lots of wild turkeys! I think I like deer better.

Rosi, the deer are a mixed blessing because they cause accidents but they’re not predators so that’s definitely a plus. We saw this one again today on our morning walk. He’s definitely a local. 🦌
