Oh Deer!

Last evening as we were sitting down for dinner, my son noticed a deer out our kitchen window.


One by one, various sizes, eight in all came over the hill.

They stood off to the side yard between our neighbors house and ours for about 5 minutes.
They changed their minds about the direction they were taking and one by one they walked back the way they came.



I did my weekly errands with my sis, just to our small town, hit Tractor Supply and stocked up.
Having a childrens sled is a dream when a wheelbarrow wont do.


175 pounds of feed slide easily down the hill.
Weeeeeee!







Another month of scratch grain for the girls.

Chubby thinks I need to get out more when she saw me taking pictures of her food on a sled.

She may be right.

Fun pictures!! I can just see you giving that sled a push and delighting in its trip down the hill! :-) Hey - is that adorable little blue house your chicken coop?
Chubby shouldn't be so negative...it's like biting the hand that feeds you, don't you think? ;-)

That is one of my coops.(chick house mostly) It started life as a playhouse for my brother, sister and I. Turned outhouse, then deer hunter blind. It looked so trashy when we got it back. Maybe I'll post pics someday.

Aren't sleds great? We haul most of our wood that way: I can't believe I ever bothered with a wheelbarrow or my own two hands: sleds are pure genius where hauling is concerned!

Farmgirl, I forgive any woman with children a failing memory.
k & ari, We haul our wood that way too. Lucky for us the kids actually enjoy helping that way.
Many sleds make light work.
