WOW! Look at all those deer! When I was driving home from the OSPCA I saw a LOT of deer hanging out in farm fields and driveways. I wonder why they are bunching up NOW?
These guys will make you go broke. Funny how they can be very demanding for food. Some difference from last year when I think you had a high or two of 25 C!
karen, the deer do find winter yards and gather in the winter, keeping together for warmth and protection.
Red, each only gets a mouthful. It is worth it to watch them. The feed is a 40kg bag, for $20 from Dodds & Erwin. It's good food and makes us feel happy to help them. They are safe here.
This month looks like it will fill the water table.

My sophisticated system!
A rain gauge (udometer, pluviometer, or an ombrometer ) is a type of instrument used by meteorologists and hydrologists to gather and measure the amount of liquid precipitation over a set period of time.
Brake for turtles, or slow down
They are older than the hills, and we must take care not to lose them. Read more here.

Long Lake snapping turtle! July, 2009
I couldn't believe it was real!
Beware - ticks are bad!
Ticks are really bad this year.
I've harvested 43 ticks thus far.
Daisy, the smallest cat, has had 19
Dorah –18
Sadie, Buster ,and myself; 1 each.
Then I found one in the cat bed. I stick them to a piece of tape.

Spring is ephemeral, never predictable, almost unknowable...but we love it anyway, don't we?

Fantastic shots of the deer.
