Deer in the front yard

One evening last week after we got home from work, I am sitting in the living room surfing the www while Debbie is in the bedroom doing something or other.  Suddenly, she yells at me to hurry back there.  She's kinda frantic sounding and the first thing I thought of was another garter snake had found its way into the house.  Nope.  Debbie was standing in the hallway looking into Megan's bedroom.  As I approached her, she said, "Look through the window.  Two deer are in the front yard."  Sure enough, there were two deer in the front yard grazing.  The streetlight behind the deer allowed us to see their silhouettes.  Our bedroom light was behind us, so the deer could see silhouettes through the window.  One of the deer was looking toward us with its ears sticking out.  Kinda funny looking.  Anyway, they stayed there for several minutes before a car came down the street and the deer ran across the road into a small stand of trees. 

Sunday night after we got home from Tara's, Debbie was in the bedroom.  She said the deer were back in the front yard again.  Sure enough, they were back eating grass or something.  We have a large bradford pear tree, so I'm wondering if they were eating the berries off of it.  Dunno.  But, they stayed around for quite a while eating.

Last nite, Debbie went to the grocery store.  She came back home with a 5 lbs back of corn to put in the front yard for the deer.  A couple of years ago, she adopted a large black bunny rabbit around Easter that showed up at the house.  Now, it is deer.  The next few days will be interesting if a bunch of deer start hanging out at the house.  We know there are three for sure.  Wonder how many friends they have?

Have a good day.
