Our mighty hunter thought thatthe three deer heading toward the pea patch this early morning might make a tasty breakfast. As the deer meandered up the back hill ever closer to the house and the garden, Milegro slithered his way down the edge of the garden thinking he would pounce.  Eventually they, wary as they are, sensed his presence and turned and ran back down the hill. The peas are safe once more but the cat is left disappointed and hungry!

On another note, the 28 chicks/ half grown hens are constantly hungry. They are set free during the day when someone is here and have wandered about picking bugs and bits of vegetation to feed their insatiable appetites. Its a sight to behold!
