Saturday night The Nurse and I were driving home, and as we approached our driveway, 5 deer sauntered out into the road and in front of our car. We both immediately got as excited as kids seeing Santa for the first time, pointing and giddy. We finally saw the deer that have been making their rounds through our yard!
Right now it's common for deer to expand their "home radius" as food is scarce and they have to range wider in order to survive, and with the below freezing temperatures and snow we've had recently, these critters have been working overtime trying to find a meal.
We decided this week to set up a feeding station for the deer, and the other critters that eat from beneath our bird feeders. It has taken them a few days, but this morning when I went out, there were deer, raccoon, rabbits, and skunk tracks all over! Hopefully our donation to the woodland creature's grocery-fund helps them through these rough months.
May they will return the favor by helping me with my laundry or housework, just like on those Disney movies?!
