Deer in the Pasture

We had a visit from several deer in one of our pastures on the farm. There is a small family of deer that likes to hang out around the farm. We have seen two yearling does and an older doe. We think that the older doe is the mother of the two yearlings. It will be interesting to see if they have babies this year.

They love eating grass in the pasture.

The pasture also contains our beloved Albino Rhino 4×4. The deer don’t seem to mind one bit sharing the pasture with a Toyota.

Snow Days on the Farm

We had a few days of snow on the farm. It was a surprisingly large amount of snow. The snow in Portland was much worse though. Luckily we’re used to such things on the farm.

That’s a bunch of beautiful snow in the pasture!

Just a dusting right at the start.

The snow in the woods is so pretty.

Looking out into the back after a lot more snow fell.

Lots of snow in the barnyard.

Even more snow on the driveway.

Snow on the fence rails.

The snow finally slowed down a bit.

Snow in the big trees.

Icicles coming off the barn roof.

After the snow fell, Jesi and Brent came over to join us in making huge snowballs. We used up most of the snow in the small pasture. A week or so after the rest of the snow melted, these are the mounds of snow that still exist. The tallest is about three feet tall. Not bad for a little Oregon snow!
