Caught in the act!!!!


We are experiencing quite the problem with these little deers. They have now eaten all of my hostas, rose buds and lilly buds!!!! Strange as there is so much forage available in the bush right now. Guess my stuff is much yummier!!!!!! If they discover my veggie garden, I'll have to start sleeping out there!!!

Pets and Wildlife...

We have decided to allow pets under certain conditions. 1) We want a security deposit. Something reasonable like your car or house. 2) The animal is never to be left alone in the cabin. 3) You must be responsible for poop scooping where necessary from all public areas. I don't expect you to forge through the bush looking for your dogs scat!!!!! 4) The critter will not bark or howl constantly. 5) You will be extra cautious with oil lamps at night - easily knocked over by a tail swish. 6) No damage of any kind to the cabin or the property.

This was an exciting wildlife week here. First we had a sow ( female bear ) and her two cubs wandering around at the side of the house. By standing in the jaccuzzi, the two grandbabies and I were only a few feet away from them. Next we had two young bucks ( male deer ) eating some fallen leaves and my hostas!!!!! Their budding antlers were fuzzy nubs. With the bears I couldn't find the camera and with the deer, Ray couldn't get the camera to work so sorry there aren't great pics to go along with this post!!!!!
