A nice visitor :-)

 

Windy and cold all day but I did see a little patch of blue sky when we went out on our morning walk. I had been to the supermarket before we went out though to buy yeast. I tried baking soda bread but I’m never good at it, plus don’t eat too much soda bread because it destroys all vitamin b and that’s something we don’t want to have too little of. After that I went to the dollar store to buy bird seeds, they are so much c cheaper than any other store and before going home I went to the pet store to buy two small fish, Siamese algae eaters.

The wind is horrible and it really drains the life out of us but it does make the electricity bill less expensive since the wind power plants works like crazy 🙂 We managed to keep away from most of the wind by walking in the forest though. It sounded like we scared away a lot of animals  when we walked out to the bog, mostly wild hogs I guess because they’ve been working hard to get down in to the ground to find something to eat.

We had been at home just a short while when my neighbour called and said that I shouldn’t let the dogs out because we had a visitor in the garden. So I took a look and indeed we had 🙂 A beautiful Roe deer was walking around eating what it could find on the ground. It felt so safe that it eventually just laid down and fell asleep 🙂 The garden must smell an awful lot of dog so I wonder why it felt so safe here? perhaps we have a wolf here again and even if it smells of dog here it still felt more safe than having a wolf coming too close?

I eventually had to go outside and tell it to leave since the dogs needed to go outside 🙂 So it trotted away, jumped over the fence and walked towards the cow pasture instead. It might come back tonight again because I think it has been hanging around for some time now, the dogs always run around the fence and garden like crazy when they go outside and early this morning Alma barked at something outside the fence. It did look as it had much to eat here as well, it stayed in the garden for well over five hours 🙂

It is time for that last cup of tea and I’ll also have a roll I just baked now when I finally can leave the tries to bake soda bread 🙂

Have a great day!

      Hi ppekka!

      It is 🙂 At first I thought it was a goat (doe) but then I noticed it had two small bumps on the head so now I’m unsure 🙂

      Hi mandolin mama!

      It was and I was lucky that my neighbour tried to get her children to eat something when she looked out the window 🙂

      A ppretty little deer! We used to have big mule deer and they’d jump over fences and tear up the vegetable garden. We ended up putting a 15 foot (about 5 meters) fence around the garden to keep them out. Since we had a nursery at that time the government helped pay for the fence. I have also had mule deer pull tomato plants in water walls out of the ground, I guess because they didn’t taste good but the deer were curious about them in the strange green structures.

        Hi Carol!

        Most people with gardens panic if deer like their gardens 🙂 🙂 I was just happy 🙂
        These are small deer though, not far away from here they have Fallow deer and Red deer and especially the red deer is gigantic and those aren’t fun to have in the garden though 🙂 🙂 🙂
        I never needed fences when I had my garden centre thankfully, I never saw a deer those year in that area thankfully. Then again I had most of my sowings at the back side of the place and homes all around it so they had to pass plenty of gardens before they would have arrived there 🙂

        I had never heard of water walls!! So I had to check it out and now I want to try them! Deer seems to avoid potato and tomato plants, they do smell strange I guess, they don’t behave that way to the rest of the plant world it seems 🙂 🙂 Here in my garden they’ve never touched tulips but they gulp them down everywhere else 🙂 🙂 🙂

        Now I’ll see what more I can find out about water walls.
