We have had record breaking amounts of snowfall this year. It feels like I'm living in the Rocky Mts in Colorado again, just minus the elevation and views of the range.
Anyways...
This past week Tony went out to blow snow away from our house to prevent flooding in the basement when it all melts this spring...if it ever gets here.
Natalie is usually up by 7am, and doesn't make any noise until 7:30ish which is when we go to get her. Well it was almost 8:20, so I went to check things out. Here is the sight I saw:
A deer was nestled in the snow just outside her window. The end of her crib is below the window and she can see out it rather well if she stands on her tippy toes. No wonder she didn't make a peep until so late this morning...she was rather amused.
We went out to the living room to pull the shade and this is the sight we saw. Another deer nestled in the snow. This is where Tony had done some snow blowin' a week ago or so. Natalie was in awe.
we tapped on the windows and the deer got up and just stared. Little giggles were streaming from Natalie.
Watching the deer.
We went downstairs to open the patio door shade and get a different view.
Due to the extreme amounts of snow and cold temperatures, the deer and antelope around our area are dying off like crazy. Unfortunately the reason these deer have moved in so close to our house is because of these extremes. We'll see how much more snow and cold temps we're in for this winter. According to Mr. Groundhog, it shouldn't be too much longer, but who really knows other than our Creator. I'd sure like to see some warmer temps. This weekend it'll be gorgeous...looking forward to getting the girls outside!
