Creepy Crawly Things

I am not very fond of bugs, especially spiders, but I have to admit that the spider I saw this morning when I took Enna to the bus was pretty cool. I think this would have to be the biggest web I have ever seen.  It was at least four feet off the ground and two feet wide.  Whenever I see spider's web out here on the farm I immediately think of Charlotte's Web.  I really wouldn't be too surprised to find some words in a web one day!


The web was suspended from one of our maple trees.

And yes, it really is as big as it looks here!

Bambie

 There is a baby deer that likes to hang out in our front pasture.  We have affectionately named it Bambie.  The kids love to watch for him to come near the house because it usually hangs out at the back near the grove of trees.
 Enna always tries to sneak up so she can "pet him." They kids are trying to make friends with him.  Paul even told me he tried to share his hamburger with Bambie.
Unfortunately though he always seems to run away!
