joys of life

Sometimes we take for granted the beautiful country we live in and the wonderful creations that heavenly father has provided for our enjoyment. Uncle Brent was trying out my lawnmower the other day and stumbled onto this little fellow.

This picture is of the little fellow under a spruce tree in our yard... when Brent stumbled onto him he was parked about 15 feet from our front door. I guess he felt that there was just to much going on around him so he decided to go to a quieter place.

Two years ago I stumbled onto this little guy (almost stepped on him) while I was checking out my canada red choke cherry trees.

He layed there flat as a pancake and would not move a muscle. I guess he thought if he didn't move then no one would notice him! ha ha. He was also located fairly close to the house, I guess the mommy deer feels like our yard is a safe place to keep her young. And we have no problem with her decision! I am wondering if it would be the same mommy deer each year?

Anyway, we thought some of you might enjoy these pictures of a tast of the country.

Love Uncle Garth and Auntie Janene
