We haven’t entertained much in the last few years. However, that’s about to change too. For right now, all we are entertaining are the deer.
We are nestled back into a little spot between some hills, ridges and the Big Horn Mountains. We also have a large creek about 30 yards from our house.
Our grass/yard is irrigated, so it’s nice and lush.
The mule deer love our location…or we love their location. Either one.
We thought we heard some noise on the deck one night, but neither one of us went to look.
Yep…the deer.
(that one looked like it either slipped getting up on the deck or slipped getting off)
Now, when we hear a noise, we just assume it’s the deer. The deck is about four feet off the ground. They either jump or walk up the steps. Maybe they are civilized and use the steps.
At night, if we have to go outside to get something, we make sure we make a little bit of noise, so we both don’t scare each other.
While eating her snack in the afternoons, she likes to watch the deer. Ruby thinks they are her personal friends. She gets a little offended if they don’t come by in the afternoons.
(The “crik”, as locals call it, is at the little tree line in the background.)
Sometimes we are surrounded.
(My view while washing some dishes. We stared at each other for a little bit. The white pipe is an irrigation pipe for the pasture.)
Sometimes we have to stop and wait for the deer to make up their mind if they are gonna cross the road.

(after all the deer crossed. Looking east toward our ranch and the Big Horns. The ranch is six miles east of this spot.)
They are entertaining….or we are entertaining them. They are certainly fun to watch.
