I love finding deer in my backyard. There are usually around
seven or eight, all adults and all female, I think. I haven’t seen any with spots but there are a few that are smaller. I’m guessing those are fawns who are growing up. Also, none have antlers, so no males. Anyway, Greg can’t stand when they visit because he’s afraid they might
damage the car or the house, which is possible, of course. Still, I love
looking out the window and there they are. Living near the woods is awesome!
We also have wild turkeys that eat our grass and come up on
the deck that wraps around about half of our house. Our indoor cats freak out
when they visit. Most of these turkeys are round little babies but the adults are well
over 4 feet tall and huge. They’re so cool. We haven’t approached them because
they could be dangerous but they don’t seem to be afraid of us. Yesterday, Greg
went out on the deck when all of them were in the side yard. A few of the turkeys looked at him and the continued eating the grass, unafraid.

The only visitors I don’t like are snakes. *Shivers* They freak
me out. When they enter the house, the cats are on them. Unfortunately, the
kitties like to play with them by throwing them in the air or tossing them back
and forth. The snakes play dead until either I kill it or the cats lose
interest and kill it. I don’t mind if the snakes stay outside because they eat
mice but I don’t want them in my kitchen. Eeekk.
