Our New Year's Eve Visitors

When we arrived home early on New Year's Day, we had two unexpected visitors in our back yard. We had thought on Monday that we saw deer tracks in our front yard, in the coating of snow. But thought, "no, they wouldn't be here." That makes two nights in a row, and we're not sure what they are attracted to here, but certainly they have been roaming the streets lately. The guys from the party we were at are hunters and came up to see them. That chased them out of the yard, and they jumped the fence to the neighbors yard. Not sure where they went from there. Trisha was a bit upset because she wanted to go down and pet them. Brad is going out now to clean up the droppings, I hope! Happy New Year everyone! Did anyone do anything interesting?

I spent a quiet evening with my fiancée and his mom.

Now I'm watching the Winter Classic between the Pittsburgh Penguins (my team) and the Buffalo Sabers. The game is outside in Buffalo and it's snowing like crazy!

Happy New Year!

Cool! Personally I never heard of anyone cleaning up deer droppings, our yard is full of it, consider it good fertilizer.

As for last night I naped on the sofa while we watched Evan Almighty and forced myself to stay up until 12:01 for the kids. Exciting huh???

Actually, MJ, that's exactly what Brad said..."we're not out here now anyway,and it's good fertilizer"...Lucas is convinced that the deer were enticed by the "reindeer food" we put out on xmas eve, they worked their way to the back yard because they smelled the compost in the garden...we will be checking tonight to see if they come back
