Moosie Comes A-Calling

It has been a long winter...

We have had snow on the ground for months...

There isn't much forage...



Deer and Moose are coming into town for richer pickings despite the close proximity to humans and potential danger. Last weekend, we had a juvenile bull come into our yard. He browsed the apple trees, snuffled around for half an hour and then finally decided to bugger off. He was uninterested in us opening the back door, Ogri's one deep "WOOF" from behind Charlie, nor the feel of the deck beneath his hooves. This was a very exciting experience for a boy from industrial England and a girl from Vancouver Island (where moose never got to) especially considering we are in the middle of town.
