It's been a while since I posted any new photos. If you leave the outer porch door open, "Ma" walks up the stairs, stands outside the kitchen door and bleats loudly. She knows we keep the sheep snacks inside the house. We were driving into town when I saw these young deer standing just a few dozen yards away from the highway.

And of course, their web site doesn't have an e-mail option, I have to wait ...
