And what to my wondering eyes should appear....



but a mama moose and her baby from last year!




Okay so I'm no poet but something caught my attention out the back door. I thought it was Lily but realized she was upstairs with the boys. Yes, Momma and toddler are munching away in my garden (a total of 40 or so feet from the house). Silly toddler had the nerve to walk right up into my raised bed gardens and eat the perenials plus the chickweed. But as Ian pointed out, why does it matter because it won't be my garden in the spring. I will miss seeing the mommas and babies that frequent our "yard" each winter but it will be refreshing to not have to worry about meeting up with moose. They are rather rude guests who will turn on you if they feel so inclined!

  1. This is SO AWESOME!!! I would have LOVED to see them up close! Good thing my hubby wasn't there though (although it is a mama and baby) because he's always wanted to hunt moose. I am just a little lot jealous! :)
