Wildlife

Until mid-November I saw deer on the way to morning Mass at least 3 times a week. Then a few weeks into the hunting season, they seemed to disappear. With hunting season over they are back. On Monday on the way to the beach (see below), we saw a small herd (5-6) in an open field. This morning we saw one doe in a field and a couple dead doe on the side of the road.

Monday morning my children saw two wild turkeys come out of our cedar trees and walk on the front lawn for a while (then the kids natural noise scared them off).

I saw what looked like a weasel in the woods behind the cornfields (behind our house) last week.

Finally, we have started to see rabbits in an around.

Stay tuned, Thursday we slaughter and eat our first home-grown chicken.

From the small holding in Bethune...

Oremus pro invicem!
