No, this isn't at my house, just a
photo from a friend. Thanks Scott!

The deer in our valley are quite brazen hussies in general, but in the winter months they could rival Paris Hilton.  When the food gets harder to find they often come very close to the house and it wouldn't surprise me if one of these days they just knocked on the door and asked to borrow a cup of grain.


I had tossed an apple to one of them and he didn't even run, just picked up the apple and looked at me to throw the next one.


This is an old photo from when Simcha was still with us and you can see by the worried look on her face that she's saying "Mom, get the deer off the deck!"


But when they start to try to use the hot tub that's where I draw the line.  I enjoy my morning soak to loosen up my joints and while I don't doubt they would benefit from it also, I really prefer to sit in the hot tub alone.  Although, that would be a fun photo...hmmm.


Long Live the Queen of Deer
