Around Our Yard

Yesterday afternoon I was in the upstairs hallway talking to

Wilson when I looked out the window and saw the herd

of deer walking down the path.

I ran downstairs with camera in hand and snapped away.

They were headed for a little snack in our garden but

I managed to deter them.

Actually, I haven't seen deer in broad daylight in a long time.

Since I was outside I walked around and took flower photo's.

This is the first year for our coral bark maple.

We love our cherry tree.

In the fall Wilson planted a ton of wildflowers and we've been

watching them grow.    We have two early bloomers!

Is this a Forget Me Knot?

There is a pair of geese hanging around in this particular

area of the pond which is odd.   I say this because in the

other pond there is a center island which is where they

usually build a nest and raise their babies. 

What I love about living in an area with ponds is you never

know what you will see when you look out the window.
