WHY I LIKE LIVING WHERE WE DO

Lots of wildlife around our place today.  We had elk below the corral this morning and they grazed right by our lawn.  Turkeys in the corral a couple of times today and deer in the yard a couple of times today.  While walking Zeus this evening, a coyote crossed the path right in front of us.  Of course the old blind dog did not see it, but when we got up to where it crossed he sure did smell it.  He is so funny when he smells them.  He has hated them since he was a little pup and just is really frustrated he can't chase them now.  His hair stands up and he bounces around acting like a really tough dog- albeit a blind one.

A few pictures from today (click to enlarge any photo).

You can just see the legs of the elk as they went by.

There were at least 25 head.  

They are starting to look pretty sleek now with most of the winter hair gone.

Our plum tree has a number of blossoms on it.

The arrowleaf balsamroots are still in full bloom. 

Five does showed up this evening.  There was a nice buck in the yard when I was mowing the lawn.

Pretty sure the doe on the left and the one in the center are pregnant.



All the green grass and she has to eat the alfalfa hay under the tarp!!
