Same scenario here too Al... 8 inches deep. And all those poor song birds out there shivering...

Mother Nature pulled a good one this year.

MA, burning and carving is not the same as playing with matches and knives.

Well, Feb, we don't really feed the deer.......not allowed here, either, but we live right on the edge of the woods, and they come in and raid our bird feeder (in the background)...they also scarf up any spillage that happens along the path to the feeder. I'll see if I can find a picture of one of the "raiders of last park". OK, I found it. no matter how much bird feed we put out when the deer come in, one of the bigger ones gets up and snorkles a lot of it down, and then proceeds to either blow or shift her head around to knock the feed to the ground. The birds do get fed, because I keep restocking the "deer feeding" station.

Al, I didn't know you were a farmer too. That's quite a herd you have there. We also have woods along the back edge of our property, most deer we have had at one time was 8. They didn't bother us too much until they pruned my wife's azalea bushes. If wife isn't happy, nobody is happy!

All, Always a pretty sight to see wildlife in yards. We have Deer that run through our little town and some times get caught in fences. as they do not understand fencing. Anyways, Nice pictures but ya can keep the snow.

I debated as whether to show the photos of the deer to my wife. She'd go bananas! She loves to feed the wildlife. We've got 7 oak trees on our small lot here in Florida and we've probably got more squirrels per branch than anywhere else in the state. Sometimes I think that the majority of my retirement goes out the door in peanuts. I can only imagine what it would be like if we lived in your neck of the woods and we had deer showing up at the back door. Ouch!
