Oh Deer!

We were surprised to have visitors at our bird feeder the other night. The pictures are not very good because Mama had to take them from inside the house. Aren't they cute?




We had a opossum on our front porch the other evening, but Mama did not take his picture. Mama says opossums are the ugliest creatures on earth.

Mama had a lizard crawl across her shoe yesterday, but again no photos as she was screaming and jumping up and down. She's not really scared of them, but she was startled when it ran over her foot.

We have a fox that runs across our yard from time to time but no photos of him. He's pretty fast.

Raccoons are cute, but they are driving Mama crazy. She is always trying to scare them away from the bird feeder. They love the hummingbird food, so it's a constant battle. Mama usually brings the feeder in at night, but now they are showing up in the morning while she's in the shower and emptying the feeder.

We are hope our new house is raccoon, opossum and snake-free.
