Oh, Those Smells!

Emme and Rudy love to go out in the grass at the lake house to smell things. They love to sniff around in the grass, which makes taking care of business a lengthy process. I know that we probably get many more wild life visitors there than in Wooster which makes smelling grass way better in Holmes County.

We spent last weekend at the lake house and while we were there we were visited by five deer. Ken looked out the kitchen window and called to me to look out the side yard past the bird feeder. There were three deer in the woods just to the side of our property. As we watched, one of them walked across the lawn to the lake side of our house and stopped at the bird feeder there. That deer was joined by others and at one point we had five deer just feet away from the deck on the lake side of the house. They were fun to watch and I tried not to think how many of my hosta plants they ate last summer. But I am sure that they added to the "wonderful smells" that draw Emme and Rudy.
