John is very excited because one of the tadpoles he brought back from Virginia is now a frog. It appears to be a tree frog, it is able to climb up the wall of our aquarium.
Yesterday John and one of his friends went to the upper pond where they saw a painted turtle. They caught a few tadpoles and two spotted salamanders which they brought back and put in the aquarium.
This evening after dinner we were getting ready to go out and put Peanut back in the barn when we saw some deer out in the field near the well house. We used a pair of binoculars that Nanny sent and counted five white tail bucks. Some of the bucks had really nice antlers. Debby said "get the gun, we need to fill the freezer" (it was a joke). No, the kind of shooting we like is with a camera, we need to get a good zoom lens camera, infrared scope, or a night scope.
I then looked out in Peanut's pasture and saw the momma deer near the salt/mineral lick. Debby looked and she spotted the baby deer nearby in the tall grass.
We've seen the momma and baby deer quite a bit lately but this was the first time to see the group of five bucks. Puppy has been doing a good job of running the deer off so this was very nice to see.
