Deer guests---I should say pests!

First time in years, two young deer entered our yard. A couple of our guests alerted us to the mid-day munching moochers, who had found their way into the back yard, through the orchard gate & into the raspberry patch. We'll have to keep an eye on the garden gate now. We couldn't believe how brave they were, even while guests were walking around in the back yard. We love the animals but can't have the deer eating the garden. They won't be welcome here.
We've got a new batch of baby bunnies--golden in color. So cute! Still have many bunnies waiting around for a hand-out. Gary now has his own little food processer in the garage & turns out carrot mash to feed the bunnies. (We found out that they will stick around to be fed with this approach, instead of running off with a bigger piece of carrot.) And just as the bunny feeding begins, Leo will call out from the pasture, not to be forgotten in the carrot hand-out.
The sheep are interested only in cookies---pony cookies. But everyone is eager for kitchen scraps of all kinds. What fun at the Farmhouse!
