Trying to Enjoy our Yard

We own 3 acres of land and I admit, we don't use it all like we should. About 1 acre is our house, driveway and front yard (that is where you see us playing ball). We have some bush behind the house and to the side. Given that last Sunday was a cool but sunny day, we thought we would take the dogs out to walk on it. We took Phod off leash and Lee on her tie out.

Sniffing the find

It is a deer print. We haven't been seeing them as much, but we know they are around. 

Part way through our nice walk, the dogs took off, down the trail that runs behind our house. Here they are coming back (with the Man).

Phod running between the trees

Clearly not discouraged that he was scolded for running away

    Wow!! Isn't that beautiful! Looks like some of our Town Park's that we walk.

    We have an over abundance of deer this year in our yard. We see them every day and talk to them all the time. Butt, they never listen!

    Hugs,
    Lily Belle & Muffin

    Nice to have a big property like that. I'd be clearing some for an agility ring though.

    That does look like a lot of fun! And the photos are really beautiful too. We have about 3-4 acres as well, but there aren't any trees lol... Most of the property is just flat and grassy. And there are lots of structures here. 5 greenhouses, a barn, an office... some other stuff too.

    Wow! What a beautiful place! We live in the middle of a busy urban neighborhood and when the Human steps out the front door of the building, she's on the sidewalk! (Me, I don't go outside at all cause there's just cement and cars and stuff ::shudder::)

    What a breath of fresh air! Can almost feel the crisp-ness of Fall in those woods.
