Young bones, deer and Guy Lombardo.

.

I’m officially old.

I must be, because I can’t see any other reason why my doctor would send me for a bone density scan.

At first I wasn’t going to have the test, but then I figured if my skeleton was about to crumble to dust I should probably be informed.

.

.

I was unaware these things are scored by percentages of youth. But if I’m 114% of a young adult? That’s good enough for me.

.

.

Yay for good bones.

.

.

A few pictures of our resident buck.

.

.

And a video.

Which I hope you can view…

.

.

I had to laugh at this notice posted by a local water district.

.

.

A sense of bureaucratic humor is a beautiful thing.

And speaking of senses of humor, it’s a good thing I have one because my husband went to the dump the other day and came home with this –

.

.

I know, you’re jealous.

Guy Lombardo is the autograph you’ve always wanted to add to your collection… but my husband beat you to it.

Better luck next time.

🤣

.

Smile, and the world smiles with you.

.

Our snow melted for a while this month and it made a nice background for portraits of our resident buck.

.

.

He’s a big fella with a nice size and shape.

.

.

Though his rack is a little squirrelly.

.

.

It’s hard to tell if he’s an 8 or 9 pointer as his angles are all over the place.

.

.

But I love his little white striped feet.

.

.

And his smile of course.

We can all use more of those these days.

😊

.

Deer me.

.

We have a few nice bucks visiting this fall.

.

.

Sometimes with a companion skunk.

.

.

As long as stinky doesn’t get too close the buck doesn’t seem to mind.

.

.

It’s hunting season so I’m always worried about these guys, even though our property and our neighbors is posted.

.

.

A deer’s home range is usually one square mile and while our neighbor’s properties on both sides are 4 times bigger than ours… that still leaves us about 600 acres short of a safe from bullets zone.

😥

.

Trash pandas and friends.

.

The skunks beat the fox.

Now the raccoons are beating the skunks.

.

.

It’s first come first serve at River’s critter buffet.

.

.

Though the deer are lucky… as no one else wants their grain.

.

.

Three deer and three raccoons.

.

.

All are welcome.

.

.

But I really enjoy watching these little devils tussle and push each other out of the way for the best spots.
