Deer, Deer, & More Deer

So, if it seems like I am on a deer kick, I am. I couldn't get over how many were in our yard on a daily basis. They were so beautiful and majestic. EVERYONE says that we are going to hate them and do our best to keep them away but they are crazy. That is exactly why we picked a spot like we did. We love the nature. Of course, we will build a fence around our garden to keep them out. I am cool with that.

The first morning I got up alone, after SuperMoto had left for D.C. I saw something odd crawl out of the shrubbery. It had a long body and strange legs. This is what it was.


It was an ity baby deer that was newly walking and sort of had a strange crawl that it did that first day.

She fed for awhile.

She was so aware of me standing there and that tree is about 20 feet from the house, so she was so close.

If that weren't enough, on another day there were two young males in the yard. They had the soft, fuzzy antlers. I was so stunned at their beauty.

OH YEAH....on a side note...Do you see how tall the grass is in all of these pictures? The grass got so tall between trips this last time. The majority was in the three to four foot high range but there were sections that were five and six feet tall. We had to cut it all. Of course that is a story for another day.

Imagine all the whining and crying we are hearing from The GeoDog with all of these deer around?
