- My Least Favorite Day Of The Year
Just a couple of weeks ago I wrote to you of my favorite day...the end of Daylight Savings...that wonderful day that gifts us an extra hour of life(only to be taken away from us in the spring.) So, I am sure you would guess then that my least favorite...
- A Walk On The Wild Side
Well, this week we hit the deer jackpot.The wary deer who checked out the feed block must have told their friends about it,because everyone came to nibble over the past week.There were 1600 photos of deer nibbling at the bait.Here are some of the best......
- A Walk On The Wild Side...week 3
After reviewing this week's trail cam images,it's official...we have a lot of deer in our woods...and squirrels! There were no surprises this week...(except Hubbs riding his bike through the woods!) This family of deer showed up several times...

Point/Counterpoint
A picture of solitude...
so peaceful...
so calm....
so quiet?
Not.
Don't let these photos fool you.
It is anything but peaceful here on the farm on this sunny afternoon.
The sounds of gunfire are a continuing reminder that this is my least favorite
week of the year.
"Deer Camp" or "Beer Camp" as it is called starts this week.
And unfortunately, the neighbor on the western most edge of the farm
is a deer camp.
Three hundred and sixty days of the year this deer camp is deserted.
Not this week, as is evidenced by the amount of "close" gunfire that I am hearing.
And in the air.... fear and death loom....
our local deer population running scared.
This week, each year, makes me nervous...
afraid for the safety of my dogs
(whose woodsy adventures are curtailed.)
to make sure they don't stray.
We have a week or two to endure
and then peace (and quiet) will once again settle over the farm.
Until then I will continue to pray for each and every deer that lives around here.
Praying that they can run fast, run smart,
and hide out in the safety of our "No Trespassing" woods!
