Lloyd and I just came in from a few laps of our land on the quads........when we got up onto the side field we spotted a pair of white tailed deer watching us from behind the hay bales........a Doe and a stag...............the stag had fairly large antlers.....they stood still and watched us for a few minutes and then turned and hopped into the woods with their little white undertails flashing as they went..................then as we looked ahead we saw a bird of prey perched atop one of the hay bales...................and then as we drove along the edge of the back field we saw another bird of prey sat on a haybale in our neighbours field...in fact THIS bird sits on THIS haybale every night at dusk........Its a redtailed hawk and is gorgeous when it flies.........I had no idea they were such creatures of habit....we learnt that this year though as we drove down RR 222 three nights running and the same pair of hawks was sat on hay bales in the same field EVERY night............
I love living here so much...there is always something wonderful to see no matter what the season..........right now its the wildlife and the ever changing colours in the woodland.......the occasional duck on the pond...the magpies on the lawn at dawn, the seagulls on the back field at supper time...................
I cut the grass today....just a little section left to cut tomorrow.....we have friends coming over both days this weekend so it will be nice to have a tidy yard!
