Still here!

I haven't had much to post about the past couple of weeks, nor have I taken any photos. I have started decorating for Christmas (yes, some may think it's early, but others started weeks ago - you know who you are :-) And we bought some new furniture last weekend, so hopefully soon I'll take some pictures and start posting again. We have Thanksgiving coming up next Thursday, then 3 days after that, Kiki's 12th birthday!!

Today, Kristen called me to come in to the office (at the front of the house) and see what was in the yard. This is what I saw. . . . 

 A huge deer.... well a buck with huge antlers, cos that is not a lady deer!!


It was hard getting photos because he was behind the bush (that is really just all twigs since it died off for winter). He was rubbing his antlers on the plant. This is what it looked like when I went out there. It was all brown before, but he stripped the top layer off and you can see the fresh green underneath it.

 Kristen tried to go out there with a carrot! But of course he just started walking away when we opened the door. At least he walked, and didn't run... I got this last shot of him heading up the driveway...

My husband is up in northern Wisconsin deer hunting and he would probably pee his pants if he saw this. They keep going to the same spot every year and there are less and less deer. I would love to live where you do but I wouldn't want to bring my husband. I LOVE all animals.

Wow, Denise, that is one huge deer! How cool for Kristen to get to see him right out your window. I cannot believe she's about to be 12 years old!
