Hahahahahahah! I guess the plants look like some sort of a yummy treat in their eyes...😀
I will really love to have them around here but well, I will have to leave my house if I wanna see them (or any other animal). Do you have other animals apart from the deer around? You really are amazing, atleast you are there to help them out when winter comes.
Yeah, I feel sorry for them in the winter because they do get hungry. I put out corn for them and they come every day and night and eat everything I leave for them. Since they are here, they use out decorative plants as their salad bar and Swan does not see the humor in that. Many times in the spring, the moms have their little ones very near our house because they know it is safe and there is food nearby. Watching a day-old deer wobble into the yard and learn to eat corn with its mom is a reward from Mother Nature.
Deer are the largest animals but we also have squirrels (of course), and wild turkeys. At night, Raccoons, Opossums, foxes, Owls, and some coyotes. We have bird visitors, depending on the time of year: Canada geese, hawks, osprey , Great Blue Heron, Kingfisher, and a long list of the more common songbirds (of which the Carolina Wren is my favorite).
There is no swampland nearby since we're about 25 miles from lower and flatter land. They have their share of animals that include alligators.
What is wrong with leaving your house? You live in one of the most exotic places on Earth for seeing wild animals! You have a camera, too! One and one = ?
Lol! She sure wouldn't see any humor in that, not sure I will either. That place you leave in is definitely a beautiful place.
That's a whole lot of animals. Why is that your favorite though?
Well, nothing wrong with leaving my house, I do leave my house like every day (actually, my parent's house🙈. Lol) The issue is leaving the house for a zoo/wildlife park. I guess its more of me being lazy or maybe I am just too used to it? The last time I went to a zoo (one not too far from my house) was about a year ago with my sister, we did take few pictures though. Nothing fancy...
Well, don't have a "professional camera" yet but my phone does the job...
The deer are my favorite because they are large animals (compared to all the others), they are shy and cautious, and they are so graceful with they run and jump. Almost all of them we see are females because the males are singular animals and only hang around with the does during mating season and then they leave. The does have their babies in the early spring and is not unusual to have a visit from 4 or 5 does with 6 or 7 little spotted babies with them. Three years ago, a doe had her fawn about 60 feet from our kitchen window! Within an hour, she led it to the front yard to show it where the corn was. That was so cool!
I actually like all the animals we have and wish there were more of them. Snakes, I can do without, but we try not to bother each other. Most of the small ones are night creatures and are working while I sleep. The Raccoons are the prettiest with their little black masks.
When I was working, the Columbia Riverbanks Zoo was a mile away from my office and I would often go there during my lunch hour and sit and watch the elephants. I'm certain I was an elephant in a prior life. Being there was a great stress reliever for me and I could forget about the office crazies for a short while.
The temperature was 45 degrees (7 C) this morning in a rough warning that the warm days are over for a while. I truly dislike cold weather! How cold does it get where you are?
You've had some amazing time with animals. And seeing that doe give and lead her fawn to where the food is definitely is so cool...
Elephants are so amazing, aren't they? I so much like them too.
It hardly goes below 10C (it does vary across states though)
Ii do see some interesting things. Our house has lots of large windows and no curtains, so it is easy to see out and feel like I'm a part of nature. The deer know we are indoors and they don't mind if we watch them and they feel safe with their newborn here. I like that a lot. We watch birds build nests and can see them feed their hatchlings. It's really nice!
Did you read my post, "The Foot?" If not, please do.
it's about a special elephant.
10 was exactly our temperature at 4 am today! I can get by with that but when it gets to ZERO, I want to stay indoors and try to be warm.
Haven't read the post, can I get a link to it?
I do love the cold season here, It's not too bad. Well, even with 10, I will want to stay indoors...

It rained a cold rain all day yesterday and I was forced to stay indoors and work on Weku. That was better than getting wet and cold! It's now 6:03 AM and time to take the dogs for their walk in the park. It is also cold and I REALLY don't want to walk int the cold, dark morning.
You are missing a good opportunity with building up some weku since it is still in the formative stage. We may not know what the price will be until after the ICO, but there will be a pre-sale for users and weku will be easier to get before the market value is determined.
I reentered a Steemit post yesterday that earned $.63 there and $12.00 here. It's worth the time.
It's better than being cold and wet!
Addendum: something happened on weku over the weekend and all transactions made on Saturday and Sunday just disappeared! For everyone, it seems. Everything! No word from anyone on what happened.
I didn't notice. Is it all settled now? Maybe they had a little issue...
It is kind of settled and the problem was indeed because of the lack of witnesses. Two nodes got out of sync, one began creating empty blocks and when they got them synced and rebooted, the empty blocks replaced everything that was posted on Saturday and Sunday. Everything!
I worked all day with three long posts and they disappeared, along with the most W$ in upvotes i have had on weku. I happened to everyone.
Welcome to the Beta version!
They just need to attract some of these developers but it may be a bit tough for them now that Weku doesn't have any value just yet...
It is like giving away pieces of a very large piece of land. You may not know what it will be worth, but you can get free pieces and they will be worth SOMETHING.
That is why people get their free land and build things on it: it is preparing for the future you anticipate and hope to be rewarded for.
If the value is not enough to buy an airplane, at least you can chat with some pretty nice people, so you still benefit from the friendship and your time.
You can easily buy 10 WEKU for 1 Steem at present.
I guess they don't have witnesses just yet so maybe fixing such things might take the a while...
You need to rejoin weku. Clone your posts here.
How else can I give you big upvotes? Try it and see.
😀 Sure, I will try...
