It's all about the animals

And we march through the long last days of summer. Going too fast, see the start of the golden hues a comin'.

Flap
and her baby!
Big surprise
Lots of animal activity these days including Flap and her fawn. She is quite the lackadaisical mother, so surprised every time she appears with babies. She's had two sets of twins prior to this one. Deer live 10-12 years here in the wild- wonder how old Flap is?

And the beavers came back. I went with Mark this time to assess the damage. A monstrous amount of branches and rocks everywhere and they jammed the head gate again. They are certainly industrious little creatures.

I've stuffed my cheeks but I want MORE
The ground squirrels have now taken over the deck. They demand food morning, noon, and night. Our fault of course. They're very cute and fun to feed.

Off, I want this off!
Now their munching on my flower pots is not cute- at all. So the first experiment with cheese cloth has accomplished not much as you can see. These are petunias, or were... There is a daily pull contest to get it off.

CB farmer's market still going strong, at least for another few weeks. Grabbing lots of heirloom tomatoes and peaches while they last. Yum.

sauntering through town
Bucks, bucks everywhere. Handsome boys...
