Where the Wild Things Are

When we moved into our home, we knew there would be wildlife because we had heard stories of deer in the backyard. We had seen many tracks in the morning snow, but, no deer. Last Friday night, we were commenting about how we hadn't seen any deer but lots of tracks, and Jessi said "I see one right there!" Sure enough, in the bushes by the road was a deer. Jessi has good eyesight, because some of us had previously been looking out the window and not seen it. Then, the next morning, we woke to find four deer lounging in the backyard and Jessi was more than happy to pose for a picture. We watched, quietly, for a while and snapped a couple of pictures.
