I always have unsalted roasted peanuts in the shell with me when I am up on the farm. In the winter it is easy to carry them in the jacket pockets.

Vixen does not like the heat and sometimes in the morning and evenings, I will spray her down and let her drink out of the hose. This was in the evening.

We have a twin fawns that hang around our house. When they were very young, their mother used to drop them off for a few hours. I managed to record their cute calls for their mother and now it is my Notification sound on my phone.

They can leave and go out and graze anytime they want. But I put up some hay bags to get their day started with a good breakfast

Donkeys love watermelon. A short clip of the last round of watermelon pieces for their evening treat.

The donkeys get their minerals and vitamins every evening. I put some timothy pellets in it so they think it is feed. When they finish the feed, we give them a treat. Usually an apple and carrot sliced up between them all. Tonight, we had some cantaloupe instead.

These deer are among the group of about 10 deer that hang out in our yard. These three were just laying around chewing cud. I kept pushing the limit as to how close I could get. I finally crossed over their safety zone and they had enough and stood and stretched and left back down our driveway.

They sing off-key! But although we call them frogs, they are really Eastern Narrow-mouthed toads. We have heard them for years but never actually seen one. Ever. Them come out after a good rain that leaves puddles.

Three does taking a break before breakfast. This is taken from my sidewalk in front of my house. The deer are kept out of our garden by strategic electric fencing. But hang out and chew their cud most afternoons. One of these does has a fawn. Soon, when the fawns get a little bigger, their mothers will leave them with us for safe keeping and babysitting.
