All the Creatures

I guess our backyard is now on the afternoon munch list for a small herd of 8-9 white tailed deer. There are 3 does and their fawns that gather and eat the lawn before heading off to the 60 acre field next door.  I’ll try and get some good photos and put them up on the blog.

I did notice one older fawn that was on the thin side and had a thinning coat. I talked to a local hunter and he told me that lice was a big problem with the deer herds in the area. I have found that the hunters are a better gauge of what is going on with the local wildlife than the official fish and game authorities.

In the next few months I should see the does with this years little fawns. I have not seen the bucks yet but they are probably around. Last year there was a group of 3 bucks that use to travel through the area, but I have not seen them this year so far.

I have always been fortunate enough to work at small companies where having animals in the work area has not been discouraged. At one company I had a betta fish in a small 5 gallon tank on my desk. Most companies encouraged their workers to make their work area feel like home. Most employees had pictures of family posted but a few of us had calendars with our favorite animals. Can you guess that mine was always a horse calendar?

I find that most office supply places do not cater to animal lovers. Their selection of stuff for the office or work areas are mostly flowery or just plain solid colors….boring. Instead, I had to shop here and there to get what I wanted around me in my work space.

I came upon these beautiful coins with wildlife on them:

The leopard is just gorgeous. I know almost nothing about these coins. The leopard one did have the year 2009 associated with it. If you buy gold coins then you might have some information on them. Leave a comment if you have some info on them. These coins are obviously minted strictly for collectors and investors.
