Vacation with nature! Lots of Deer...

Vacation with nature! Lots of Deer....

It has been awhile since I have written in my blogs. I wanted to have something a little different this time. We have a timeshare in Virginia we go to each year because we have to pay our fees, so I figure we will use it. It would cost us much more to go someplace else. This is in the mountains with a spactacular view. Wildlife everywhere. Deer in abundance, ground hogs, birds and flowers. There was a unit that the people saw the deer in our back common ground and started feeding them bread crumbs. The deer would come to within about 12 feet. If you tried to get closer they would gingerly back away. I noticed a couple of nights before we were to leave that the other folks already had gone. I told my husband that if I had another week to be there I could have them eating from my hand. So, I started giving the deer some bread that I had made but didn't turn out as well in the mountains as it did at home. I sat on a big rock and threw the crumbs out arms throw and began shortening the distance each time until low and behold one of the deer ate from my hand! My husband had been taking pictures, but the batteries died in my camera just when the deer actually ate from my hand. Here are a few photos we took. Enjoy!

Our new driveway bulkheads!

Our new driveway bulkheads!

Just updating you on the repair of our driveway bulkheads. The contractor asked us if we really wanted to have brick ones again or have a nicer looking style. He brought us a sample of what he recommended and we liked it. It is what a lot of the malls have in their landscaping designs. It looks nice and elegant, only one in the neighborhood!
We will have to wait until we come back from out vacation to put the replacement flowers back in the flower boxes. The people came by last night and finished what the court ordered. The teen boy had to write us an apology letter and make restitution for the plants in the planter boxes that were destroyed. It was a very nice letter that he wrote. I will post when we replace the flowers.
