Most of you know that Dave and I moved just a little over a month ago I guess. It was a super long process for us, and one that seemed like it was never going to end. It was so stressful, I started to doubt if we were doing the right thing, and started second guessing our choices. Moving this time was THE worst! It seemed like every time I turned around, something was going wrong. Then when we finally got here, the sellers movers where not out yet, so Dave parked our U-haul on the road close to the side. They are redoing the road, and the gravel gave way, our U-haul was pulled into the rut.........almost tipping!

We've had time to settle in now, and though we've been so busy with work, we've found some time to realize just why we bought this place. For me, it's the simple things.

The below is a pileated woodpecker, and for those who may never have had the opportunity to see one of these big birds, they are so cool, especially when you see them flying! They are about 16"-19" long!

This is my back yard, right off our patio. It's what we see everytime we look out the window. This pic was taken opening day of deer hunting! These two 6 pointers came strolling in together, bumping their racks together as if they were wrestling! That same morning we also had our 3 little doe show up too! Dave was so mad he had decided at last minute not to get a deer tag!!! These two haven't shown themselves since, so we figure someone got them that day.

These three little doe have been living around our area. We hadn't seen them since deer hunting, and thought they were gone too. This pic was taken today when they came in to our back yard. I had opened the patio door to say "good morning girls", and got their attention.

Geri --

Your pictures are beautiful!!!!!!!

I love those deer!!!! They look different than the kind we have here, but I had a real blonde moment just now. I kept looking at that one in the middle marveling at her white markings on her muzzle (and then it occured to me, it's probably snow!).

Enjoy your new place! It does look like a real piece of heaven on earth

LOL Jill, I just noticed the snow on her nose too!

My camera is not good with distance, so they aren't as clear as I would like. Santa did leave me a note in my St. Nick stocking though, and said that I could maybe expect a "really nice" christmas present under my tree this year (wink wink wink)!

We are in Wisconsin...........and this morning it was soooo cold here! It's snowing again right now too, and more on the way for the weekend! Mother nature doesn't want me to have a barn! :DOH!

Aww--Geri--you're awesome. I'm so happy for you.

Gorgeous, what my husband would give to have some dear chomping away in his yard!!! That is just wonderful, congrats, I pray for the day we are ready to give up this city slicker lifestyle!
 
I love the birds! I have always wanted to see a real live cardinal! Your piece of heaven is gorgeous.

I just loved all the pictures. I enjoy watching all the beautiful birds and animals. You're right; it's all about the simple things! I'm so glad you found your little piece of Heaven, too!

God bless,

Thank you everyone! I'm so happy I could share the pics, and will definately share more when I have time! There is just a ton of activity around this place, so I'm sure there will be many more. It's kinda like the glass door in front of the animals cage at the zoo around here!

I know, she's just so squeezable! They were coming in pretty much every day before hunting, and then we didn't see them for quite a while, so I was so worried we lost them. It was good to see them again yesterday.
