We had a nice Memorial weekend at my in-laws’ cabin. Our kids enjoyed the time they spent with their cousins, boating, tubing, fishing and just hanging out together. There was plenty of nature all around us. Here are a few of the sights we saw.
We had a fantastic paella dinner, celebrated two birthdays, roasted marshmallows by the fire and took a long pontoon ride.
The kids are already looking forward to the next time we go to the cabin so they can do it all over again.
This buck is a frequent visitor to our neighborhood. We saw him in the backyard on Thanksgiving Day (I still need to post Thanksgiving photos). Mike almost ran into him in the street on his way home one dark evening. Today he was grazing in the neighbor’s backyard. He made his way out front, posed for a photo and then went across the street into the woods.
I’m sure he will be back throughout the winter to dine on our trees and shrubs.
I have written about it many times before, but we have a bit of a deer problem. They like to eat our hostas, young maple trees, apple trees, arborvitae, lilies, tulips…pretty much everything in our yard and garden. The problem has become larger over the years. Unfortunately, the problem has multiplied by two this year.
We have seen this pair of fawns in our neighborhood several times over the past few weeks. Now they seem to think our yard has the best salad bar. The fawns visited us on Tuesday and were back again this morning for breakfast at 6:00 a.m. with their mom. Oh deer!!
