Time for the new school year!
It’s always fun to see their favorites. Busy days ahead with homeschooling and with Co-op.
We had twin fawns visit and I only managed to get one of them in a photo.
I will be hit and miss on the internet and with posting for the next little while. I’ll pop in when I can.
This mama deer comes to forage in our yard but leaves her fawn in a neighboring area to our property.
Our state bird has paid us some visits, too.
Mama Deer comes back a few times a day to nibble on all the pretty stuff and some weeds, too.
We had a surprise visitor today who was running back and forth next to our slider and seemed to want to come in an pay us a visit. This was the first time we have seen this critter in our parts, a long tailed weasel!!

Since this critter eats mice and chipmunks we wish it well!
I’ll be missing in action for a few days. I’ll catch up when I can. Have a great last weekend in June!
Gimpy mama and the fawn appeared a couple weeks ago and since then they both have spent time in our back acres. The doe has a broken leg and limps so she gets more grace from us on what we let her nibble on our property. We put water out on these hot days. Healthier deer get run off when they come after our flowers.
Fawns are so much fun to watch when they are on the go.
Our quail population has increased with baby quail looking like teenagers and a whole new batch of baby quail, too.
We are looking forward to the week ahead. What is new in your neck of the woods?
These two were visiting on Sunday morning before church.
Monday was an on the go day from 7am until 7:30 PM. Hope all is good in your corner.
We were surprised and excited to see this little fawn visit our yard with mama deer.
We watched through the windows not wanting to spook them.
They found the water we leave out for them and had a good drink before they headed off.
It’s always a treat to see a fawn with it’s momma.
We have a new addition to our back yard, a soccer goal.
Enjoy your Thursday wherever you are…
We knew it snowed in the higher elevations around us on Saturday the 28th of September but we really couldn’t see the snow until Sunday morning. These were the views from our home. We did not get any snow on our property. This is very early for snow in our parts. The last time there was September snow in Spokane was in 1926. We are north of Spokane but they are at a higher elevation than us. We were all surprised to see the snow and the below average temperatures for this time of year.
We had two visitors who stayed a while last week.
Mama and baby or maybe toddler enjoyed our back acres for a good stretch of time. Mama kept a steady eye on our family room slider while the fawn enjoyed nibbling on the brush.
We’ve got a busy week ahead with building and visitors and a local Marcus Ciderfest on Saturday.
Something pithy from John Newton emailed to me by Grace Gems:

We had some very sweet visitors and they brought dinner and flowers. They are so considerate. Addy got used to the idea that I could not lift her up in my arms but she could climb up and crawl into my lap. We got lots of great hugs from Addy. Thanking God for all the kindness I receive and have received with good wishes and prayers.
We’ve had other visitors the last couple of days, too.
Eye drops are being instilled well at our Country Bungalow. It is hard to sit around and notice things that need to be done like dusting. I won’t be dusting for now, though, because I’m suppose to avoid getting dust in my eyes. I’m making a list of things to do when I get the go ahead from the doctor. I have those super dark eye shades to put over my regular glasses if I go out in the sunshine. We are going to have another 99 degree day today and then we are suppose to cool down to the 80’s tomorrow.
The Williams Flats Fire on the Colville Reservation is now at over 34,000 acres and only 25% contained. Our views and air are affected.
This Doe and Fawn have been showing up on our son’s property each afternoon or evening. If you just go about your business and don’t make sudden moves they are content to graze with us in the distance.
If you look carefully through the chicken coop you can see them. The fawn is watching me and the doe is busy grazing. That black and white speckled cock a doodle doer is destined for the cook pot soon! In the meantime we are eating lots of eggs!
