Deer in my yard!!

Julie: Spring in Nova Scotia is unpredictable.

We can have multiple seasons in a couple

of days. We had a snow day...

Then a sunny day. That brought out the viscous deer!

I wad glad to ne indoors!

Mum assures me that deer do not eat cats.

All the same, I was happy to be inside as

those deer are way bigger than me!

They had some fun near the birdfeeder.

There was seed on the ground.

  

After a while, they decided to go back to 

their home in the woods.

I think they will be back at some point!

I will be watching!

 

Long Weekend Ahead with Mum !

Julie: Are you calling me mum?

Is it time to come in already?

OK! I'm coming!

You have some treats...right?

And some brushing time?

Mum: Yes Julie. Come on, let's go!

One day, mum was looking out the kitchen window

and this is what she saw.

She had not seen the deer for quite a while.

 We are having a 3 day weekend.

That is because it is Natal Day.

That is the day we celebrate our city's birthday!

Happy Birthday Halifax!!

I am looking forward to an extra mum day!!

You know that will be FUN!!!!!

I Love Getting Brushed!

Julie: Do you see this greenish object?

 It is a brush. I really like it s lot too.

It feels really good on my body,just

like a massage! Every time mum walks by, 

I run to this spot. I can't get enough!

 

Are you ready to brush me mum?

I am SO ready. Can you do it now?

Yes Julie, I will give you your brushing!

Lucky for me mum gives me some brushings.

Maybe that is why my furs are so

shiney and soft!

 This weekend ,mum looked out the window 

and saw a young Deer.

The had to be sneaky to get a picture so as not 

to scare the deer away.

The deer suspects something, so mem has to try

not to be seen.The green at the bottom of the picture

is part of the windowsill.

Still, she managed to get these pictures.

The deer was doing clean-up on the seeds mum

puts out in the morning.

As I am indoors, I do not mind the deer in the yard.

It is only in tha past 5 years or so that we have seen

deer around our area.

At the end of our road, there is a forest so the deer we

see must be exploring.

Dear on Deer!

Julie: Mum was looking out the window Saturday

and this is whar she saw. A young deer in the

garden at the end of the driveway.

There must be some yount grass shoots coming up.

The green in the picture is Vinca.

The snow is gradually melting and is in places that do

 not get a lot of sun.

The deer must sense that she is being stalked and she is 

right! Mum has the camera pointed at it.

Meanwhile, I sit here waiting, and waiting for my

brushing session!!

Come on mum!!!!!!

 Fortunately, she did come and I got some pawsome

brushing time! You can see a pile of fur on the left.

MOL!

Our Yard, A Quiet Place or Wildlife

Julie: We had a pretty nice weekend. While the temps

are still cool the sun was bright!

Sitting on the windowsill, I could feel the warmth

of the sun on my panther furs.

Mmmmmmmmmm! It was nice!
it's also nice that we are now in March!!

Spring is coming!

The snow is melting and you can see more of the

brown grass. MOL!!.

Lately, this deer has been stopping by to enjoy

some of the seeds mum puts out for the birds.

Sometimes the deer will stop bt the rhododendron bush

and much some of the leaves there as well.

As the area is quite quiet, the deer feels comfortable

dining in our yard.

I enjoy watching the wildlife as does mum.

These warm sunbeams are making me sleepy.

I must go now to enjoy a nap.

See you later!

 

Indoor Cat and Outdoor Deer

 

Julie: The home mum and I live in is protected!

By ME...Julie!!

I even have my own chair...MOL!!

I have to protect against deer intrusions.

However, I do not think this deer wants to come indoors.

I think it is more interested in eating the rhododendron.

Those leaves must be tasty.

Mum even put out a few apples.

Hope the deer like them.

A lot of our snow is melting. The weather continues to 

be up and down temperature wise.

A storm is coming for Tuesday that will bring

snow,and rain!

Sounds like it will be a messy week and I am

really happy to be an indoor cat!!!

Freedom for Some, But Not Me!

Julie: Mum, I want to go out!

 How come I can't go out?
Being busy is not much of an answer you know!

Mr Chipmink was surrounded by lots of birds!

Later in the afternoon, mum heard a noise on the deck

as she was working on the computer.This is what she saw!

A deer!!!!

This is the first time mum has seen a deer on the deck.

It did not seem to notice her taking pictures.

It was quite calm.

I still think I should be allowed out.

Another Monday in Lockdown

Georgia: Happy Monday friends.

We are still enjoying having mum at home, but we

have not gotten used to the picture taking.

Sounds silly after all these years, but there it is.

Oh well, mum likes a challenge.

Julie: Not too much is going on at the moment.

I just like hanging out here on this fuzzy mat.

I can relax and keep an eye on what mum is doing.

I also get lots of scritches too!

The other day, mum saw this deer in the yard.

The deer realized she was there and started to run!

Deer: You're not going to chase me are you?

Mum: Nope! Just want to take pictures of you.

Things are pretty quiet here and as a result we

get to see more wildlife. Mum likes that as she is often

 away at work. Being home allows her to see

all the friends that visit our yard.

Georgia and Julie Checking In

Georgia: Hi friends!! Thought it was about time to check in.

We have been enjoying having mum home all the time.

She has been amusing herself  with cleaning and 

dispensing scritches and belly rubs.

We kinda like having her around

Julie: I know I love having mum around.

As you can see, I have a great place for fining too.

What? I never said I was a neat eater!

Besides, I have some great Critter TV  to enjoy.

See? The groundhog came by to see what was for eating.

He was there a while, so ne must have found something.

Guess what else we saw? Deer!!!

These pictures were taken on April Fool's Day.

We got fooled with some snow!

Thank goodness it's all gone now.

These pictures are not great because mum had to 

be in super stealth mode.These 3 young ones were 

pretty skittish even though mum was indoors.

Well, that and the dirty windows.

They look nice, but they are way bigger than me!

Kinda glad to be an indoor cat.

There are lots of critters outside our place!

Weekend Visitors!

Georgia:

We had a pretty good weekend with Mum.

Saturday was pretty nice, then we got a few centimeters

 of snow in the evening.

WE all had a good time relaxing and mum did some

reading.

Mum took some neat pictures of Julie.

With the sun, she is backlit so she looks like a shadow.

I like this silhouette.

Saturday evening at dusk we had visitors.

3 deer appeared. The were quite skittish and 

mum had to be very sneaky to get these pics.

Deer: I feel like I'm being watched!"

Ummmmm...Hi"

Mum said that these two were having lots of fun.

They were running around and kicking  up their

heels. They are quite young.

They played for a little while then went back in the woods.

After that, it started to snow.

Big flakes gently falling down.

Mum called it "broom snow" as it is easy to sweep

with a broom.
