Spent another morning volunteering in the Black Brook Cemetery. My Mama doe and her fawns did not join me today. Lots of "blushing" memorials. Have completed about 40% of the cemetery. I ❤️ what i do.

I wonder how many memorials are damaged by wildlife. I worked on a memorial for a baby that had a lamb on top on Saturday. When I wenr back on Sunday that same stone was now broken and the lamb had lost its head. I could see that the ground had been churned up in the area by small hooved feet. I wondered if the frolicking fawns had been playing to rough and did the damage.
