We will never forget our 6 years living on top

of a steep hill with an abundance of wonderful

wildlife all around us. They trusted us.

My sweetie took this photo in the fall of 2017.

We were living on 10.5 acres near Mt Shasta at that time.

Magical place.

Happy Tuesday! May 7,2019

 

A happy flash from the past!

While living in the mountains near Mt Shasta

 we always enjoyed seeing the baby deer!

(you can see Mt Shasta in the upper left of this photo)

Have a Happy Tuesday where ever you are!

After all the welcome rainy days

yesterday turned out to be sunny and dry.

Some of our deer came out from the forest

and I gave them a few bits of carrots.

I will truly miss the deer and all the other

mountain animals.

BUT Russell will not miss all the work that

is necessary here!

And we both will miss all our dear friends!

No snow yet on the Eddy's as

they are only at altitude 9037'

and Mt. Shasta's altitude is 14,180'.

While out yesterday taking photos of

all the fall colors, this lovely deer

watched me for the longest time.

Some of my favorite friends have four legs!

You can see a bit of our house past

all the oak trees. Later in winter

the house will be quite visible!

They are part of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest.

Have a great week!

Three days ago this lovely 2 point buck was

lounging in the sunshine near our fenced

vegetable garden with his harem and fawns

close by....

The next day I saw him under our bird feeder

drinking water, but not in good shape.

We think he'd been hit by a car as his left

antler was broken off and his right leg was

broken around the ankle region. It was

awful to see and there was nothing we could

do for him. After drinking a lot of water he

stumbled off, stopping to eat acorns along the way.

Since then we haven't seen him and we have to

assume he is probably dead. It makes us so sad to see

 this and we hope he isn't out there still suffering.     

Meanwhile his family is hanging outside our

home keeping each other company.

We love our deer.

The two deer realize that I am

watching them groom each other!

But the fawn in the background is ignoring me

as it's too busy eating delicious acorns!

It has been very hot here and will continue

to be in the high 90's for another week.

This lovely doe has been hanging out with

us for about a week. She had a fawn with her,

but now we haven't seen it for several days.

We're afraid perhaps the coyotes or the

cougar may have gotten it as there have been

a lot of coyotes yipping nearby at night and

some folks have seen the cougar.   

Makes me sad, but I know it's just part

of living out in the country.

I've lived here now for 6 years and

even though a lot of our friends view these

animals as pests...I still think they are adorable.

Have a great day!

Lucy and Russell set out for a walk!

 

But Lucy would just as soon relax in the sunshine!

 

 

And the deer are VERY interested in Lucy!

RIP

This beautiful buck has not been around for 

about a month, so we suspect he's been taken by a hunter.

It's a fact of life here, but I'm very sad and I'll miss seeing
 this beautiful buck saunter through our property.

It's Awww Monday! And my 75th Birthday! October 2, 2017

Doe with one of her two fawns.
We keep large saucers filled with water
for all our wildlife-especially during fire season.
 

 

 

As you can see from my header photo

we have a lot of smoke from all the

wildfires around us. So far except for all the smoke we have no fires close to us.

The closest was in Dunsmuir and thanks to all the volunteers and Cal Fire

the Bradley fire is under control.

Firefighters are our heroes.

Stay safe where ever you are!
