With the colder temperatures, the deer have been sticking closer to the house, erm…the creek. Our house is right next to the creek, so they are everywhere.
Usually how the sun is reflecting off of the window, the deer can’t see inside but they can hear us. Ruby had a great shapes and color lesson with this one doe.
I know when they are at windows because Clara will call out “eeerrrss!” She’s gotten better at saying it and the word sounds more like “deeeerrr”.
They are also eating anything they can get. Mostly they are eating the dead, fallen leaves.
They still get up on the porch, that’s 4ft off the ground, to scavenge for leaves to eat. Now that the horses in the pasture, in the corrals near the house, are getting fed hay, they are sticking close to them. At times they still scare me at night when I can hear them moving around on the porch, but then we figure out where each other are and all is well.
