Moose, Mooses or Mice?

Thursday morning, August 8th, quickly eating breakfast before going off to work. A movement caught my eye and it was a moose by the clothesline. I dashed off to grab my camera and then had to walk to the front of the house to follow the moose. Took a couple of pictures and then took a movie of the big beast. check out the video.








We have had our share of wild animals here at the acreage this year. Porcupine ate the bark all around an ornamental crab tree and I think it is dead. Deer are munching the fresh vegetables in the garden and so had to put up some fencing to keep them out.(Those are our veggies. Of course, the boys wouldn't have complained about losing the beets, just the peas.) Three weeks ago, Jannose spotted two skunks in the back yard sauntering past the deck. We have seen them a few times since then, walking in the back yard. As long as we don't surprise them, we'll be fine. But, Jannose has spent some time reading up about them.

Also, the hummingbirds have been at the feeder. Check out this picture.




And the other birds munching at our Bird and Breakfast.


Add that to the robins and their nest outside the front door.



So, that's what retired folks do, eh?
