Bonnie is really the only deer in Kina’s life, to be fair, but the two are fast friends and cautious neighbors here on the mountain. I do not think there is a human she was more excited to see this week. We woke up today to find Bonnie standing directly at our door, waiting for this girl who comes just once a year. Kina knew it would be like this, she reminded us—she had told us the night before.
