Things in my backyard...

This is a lousy picture, but I couldn't find a good way to approach this herd of deer without scaring them off. There were seven of them lying around the leaf pile in the back yard. As I approached, they bolted up and ran - two kept going, and five stopped to check things out.




And this is the growing mountain of construction debris that will sit and rot until Spring, when I can get a rolloff dumpster into the back yard to clear it out. The kids have been building forts among the twisted pile of scrap studs and paneling with rusty nails. We're livin' on the edge, baby.
