Counting the gifts continues and last night as we were washing up the dishes from a very yummy meal of homemade pizza, made with my homemade pizza sauce, grass fed hamburger, green peppers from our garden, and homemade mozzarella cheese (made by Doyle and I on Saturday evening), we saw something we have never seen in 30 years of living at this house. Seven deer were visiting our front yard and specifically our bird feeder in the front yard. Quietly I grabbed my camera and we opened the french doors leading into the greenhouse. I knew the picture wouldn't be that great, but I snapped a picture and got a glimpse of two deer. The other deer were in the trees to the right of this picture and going towards the road in front of our house. We knew there were deer around before, because we have seen the evidence of their presence (scat), but what fun to see them up close. We are pretty sure that our dog, Sia has seen them more times than we have at night, because sometimes she is just wild and frenzied. Speaking of deer on Saturday as I was cleaning the house I noticed a red fox running down our road in the front of our house. That was also a "gift" and it went into my little book. By the way, those of you who got a little book at Christmas, how are you doing on your list towards 1000? (See Ann Voskamp's book, "One Thousand Gifts for more information!).
