Found in this morning’s trail cam images.

There were three deer in the group. The first two slipped through the fence, in between the wires. The third one decided to take a flying leap!

With the warmer weather and longer days, the girls have been walking beyond the outer yard to check on things, such as the old gravel pit and pond areas.
Sometimes, they bring things back.

I believe these were found somewhere towards the old gravel pit.
Dem bones look like they’ve been cut!

He looks so handsome and regal… until he gets caught in mid chew! :-D



I just had to share these pictures of David and Cheddar. So adorable!

Dave, in mid yawn, looks like he’s telling me off!

So many teeth!
That black blur on the bottom?
That’s a cat tail photo bombing me. :-D

My husband is a morning person. He says views like this are part of what makes it so great.
I admire the view, to be sure, but if I had to choose between doing my morning rounds really early and getting shots like this, and bed, I’d choose bed. LOL

Before things started to stay below freezing, I was able to give the bird bath a thorough scrubbing and add a bit of water. Which froze overnight, so I added more in the morning.
The cats just can’t get enough of that. Here, the top layer has frozen, so there are bubbles moving underneath that entrance them, but even while the water is freshly added, they’ll jump into it, getting their paws all wet!
Silly kitties.
They’re going to have to stop doing that soon, or they’ll get frostbite!
As the weather has gotten colder, seasonal changes are happening to our morning routine. With the outside taps now closed for the winter, and water starting to freeze, we are back to bringing out a pitcher of warm water to refill the cat bowls outside.
With the bird bath now moved next to the bird feeder (which I was able to give a good scrub down before winter – after knocking the ice out!), adding warm water to there is now part of the routine. Who knows. Even the deer might be able to use it over the winter. It doesn’t hold a lot of water, but we can refill it as needed.
This morning, the cats were wildly curious about what I was doing at the feeding station, and I had cats jumping up into the bird bath before I could finish emptying the pitcher!
