Around the House

There is so much to see and enjoy just around the house, not necessarily in the house, but outside on the property. We have access to 20 acres on the Kettle River with only one property between us and the Canadian border. And it has great views of the mountains in Canada...out across the pasture, where Canadian Geese and white tail deer roam daily. The deer come down from the mountainside across the county road and graze in the pasture each morning and evening before heading down to the river to drink. The geese are usually in the field before the deer in the early morning and after them in the evening. They circle the pasture and then land accompanied by their loud honking and wings beating in thunderous unison....it is almost deafening but beautiful, nonetheless. We have enjoyed watching the wildlife so much. I especially love hearing the deer crossing the river at dusk while I sit on the back deck. If you look closely, you can see them crossing through the silvery water. I love nature and being out in it. This place is like heaven to us...makes me wonder what the real place is going to be like!

We also had the chance to ride the horses for the first time since our arrival. It was a perfect day, sunny and cool, but not too chilly....no jackets required. Can't wait to explore the area on horseback. Guess I better get with it on little Bailey so she can go too. So much to see and do, can't wait to see what the next few months holds in store. :)

I have a great video of the white tail deer here...they are not very skiddish. We can throw apples at them in the pasture and a couple of the does will RUN to eat them. Stay tuned.
