Word got out about our wagon full of deer feed and we had a party of 5 show up! The blackbirds, who were NOT invited, seem to be the full-time occupants though.
On Monday I was unloading groceries and a few deer came for a visit. This guy got a little too close for my comfort. He just kept walking closer and closer, like he had a secret to tell me. I know deer seem peaceful and innocent, but I've seen videos of them kicking people in the head! I bet the guy with the permanent hoof print in the side of his head didn't suspect he'd be getting attacked by a deer in his lifetime.
He ended up running off with no incident. I'm not afraid of the deer, but like anything else, I have to get use to them being in such close proximity.
This is the golf course at the Angle. The deer were hanging out there last Thursday night during Men's League. (You can see them mid way up toward the left.) I guess one even got hit in the nose with a ball, but he didn't care. He just sniffed it and went on about his business. I find it very funny that they choose to hang out with so many guys and noise around. Guys that will likely be serving them up with a baked potato and glazed carrots this time next year.
Maybe they aren't as innocent as they seem. Maybe they stand around and make fun of the form on some of these golfers. There really isn't much else to do up here in the woods.
So this is our son stuck in the railing of his bed one day while he was supposed to napping. And I quote, "I've been stuck here for days." I don't know how he got so wedged down in there, but I almost had to call Rick to come and help me get him out. After I took some photos of course. I suppose I should be glad it wasn't his head....yet.
This is the future of our country, people.
Fear of birds, totally reasonable. Fear of deer, not so much. However, I have great respect for you AND I firmly believe that you could take the deer in a fist/hoof fight.
ReplyDeleteJanie-This morning on my run, I encountered a deer on the road. I squared my shoulders, glared at him and did a farmer blow. Then ran straight at him. He responded with 2 ear twitches and, I think, a raised eyebrow. Then bounded off into the woods, knowing not to tangle with this girl I'm sure.I AM ANGLE- HEAR ME ROAR!
ReplyDeleteToo funny! And poor Tyson! What else is a boy to do when he's not sleepy and expected to nap :)
ReplyDeleteLisa--I knew you could take the deer! I know he is telling all his deer friends, "Don't mess with the newbie. She comes from afar and has brought some mad skills we have never seen before."
