KFredenburg's blog: Deer

So we met a really nice lady (a neighbor) who has been feeding the deer for 20+ years. She did it with her husband, but he just recently passed so she does it by herself now. It was so amazing, because she rang a cowbell and 27 deer came rushing to her, and she was petting them and feeding them. There's this one deer that she's known for almost 10 years, and it's the mother of almost all the deer she feeds.

We've always fed the deer, but only one deer (the kids named her "Cloudy", because she had this white spot that looked like a cloud on her forehead) would eat out of our hands. The turkey would come quite close, but we didn't like them being around so much because they would scratch up everything and they were such pigs, LOL. We would feed them a bunch of bird seed, then they would go to the deer and steal their food. The deer wouldn't tolerate it though, go figure.

Still a little bit before any gardening starts, and even though I went screaming through the seed aisle at Menard's and ended up with 26 seed packets in one go we won't be able to grow all of them this year. Still gotta clean up the yard and get things ready for an edible garden, because the majority of seeds we got were for edible things. Johannian can't wait, and he's restless, so I'm hoping spring will come soon, so he can get off of my back. He has everything planned, but probably won't get to do all of it this year. I told him he's planning for some pretty big things, but he said he's gonna get it done. Hey, I've seen kids do things I thought they never could have done, so maybe he'll surprise me.

Two weeks went by already! My son, DIL and granddaughter came over for twelve days, and they're leaving tomorrow, ALREADY. well, at least we'll see them again sometime soon, hopefully,

Hope you all had a great day and stay safe!
