Why we love living in the country

[Lark]

This first picture was taken from my kitchen window last night while I was fixing supper. The fawns were having a lovely time playing with each other.

 

And this next one was taken from the livingroom window. All told we had three does, a buck, and the two fawns out there.



No one has hunted out property for 20 years, so the deer have become quite comfortable around us.

Bambi?

Gorgeous.

I move back in a month, to our house twenty miles from anywhere.  I'm so excited.

[Still Kate]

They are beautiful.    

I love living in the country too, I have a 5 minute walk down a wooded lane and we have vast woods and fields.  I often see deer but more often rabbits and badgers, they don't seem to mind people being in close proximity to them, mainly, as you say, because they have been left alone.    

Blessings

We have a gopher living under our sunshed, a chipmunk family living under our front steps, a rabbit family living under the great rock across the field, a garter snake living under the paving stones, and skunk that waddles around at dusk, and a deer family that visits us every night.

And at night, it's downright loud around here! We have crickets, frogs, owls, cat fights, dogs yawling, an occasional bellow from the horses in the pasteur across the road. . . .

Geez - I need some earplugs!
