The Friendly Beasts

Okay, I know Culver is small, but 8 deer in our yard at 10:30pm, seriously.  I was sitting on the couch and our the side window I kept seeing a shadow pass by the window.  I am sure that since we are on the edge of town, by the ball fields, which are the closest thing to the woods on this side of town makes the deer feel a bit safer.  But we did drive down our street the next morning and noticed deer tracks all across town toward the other set of woods.  I had fun watching them out the window, and couldn't believe when I finally counted that there were 8 of them.  They were eating what they could of the community garden corn stalks, a cauliflower plant in our garden and from the looks of their tracks some of our bushes, which shouldn't hurt them too much as they are in need of a good pruning anyway!  It was a nice treat, especially since I grew up in the country and never really saw many deer that close to our house(too far from the woods and too many dogs.)  The videos aren't great(and I wish I had a way to splice them, my software refuses to do that!)...I need a night vision camera or something, but when they went under the street light you can see them better.

Oy -- Mark's hardly seen any deer lately!

Do you have Windows? Usually includes Windows Movie Maker, which can do splicing.
