  4. I enjoyed the deer pictures very much. The song took this post over the top. Fits with the weekend we’re having. Our PoPo is “downsizing” preparing to meet his maker. At least that’s what he’s saying. Dear time 💝 a precious gift.

      1. I shared the video on its own on FB. It’s how we’re keeping tabs with B’s family. Several of us are in this position. Not sure if you allow reblog but this post is meant to be viral 😄

  5. I would get nothing done around the house–I’d be taking photos constantly. How great is that to have those deer walking around like that?!

    Speaking of great….fabulous music. I had never heard this before.

    1. The deer go through a life cycle where the old ones die, and sadly, some fawns get killed and eaten by coyotes. There is a balance. Some people feed them corn, which is very bad for them. It stifles appetite and has little nutritional value. We feed them a small amount of carrots.

  12. I love seeing all these gorgeous deer — especially “The boss” — in your neighborhood, John. It amazes me to no end to see how calm they appear. Watchful, to be sure, but not like they’re ready to bolt. Of course, I didn’t see any herding dogs in the photos either!

  15. I love seeing these guys, John. They look like they’re really comfortable in the neighborhood. I guess they’re aware that they aren’t in any danger.

    I’ll go with the prime rib, but the smaller portion.

  18. The deer are gorgeous. What beauties!

    Looks like we built homes on their home.

    I hope everyone is nice to them!

    Thank you for the wonderful tour, John!
