Our First Big Surprise!

It is not my intention to make a posting each day we are here-but today was a special day for us.  While the Alexander men were bush hogging around our property (several acres by the barn were overgrown and needed to be mowed) Oliver (The Alexanders 17 year old son) found this below.  The kids named him (yes we checked and it is a boy) Bambi.  They sat with it all day while we worked clearing the property and readying our new garden (we plant many seeds today in hopes of having much to share-if we can keep the Deer away).  The Alexanders took it home to feed him (pays to have a dairy farm) and take care of him until he can be released (with not too far from a Wildlife center).  "Bambi"  was left behind by the Mom and was in the filed he was clearing.  We kept him in the garage for the day.

Shortly after this while walking back to the field being cleared for our garden Thom ran into a King snake.  He did not stop to take a picture and he did not name the snake.  It went under the woodpile Thom was near the day before chopping wood readying for the arrival of our brick oven sometime soon.

It was an exciting day!
