We plant em, the elk eat em

As our morning coffee was being sipped Winky gave a strange little shout.  Out in the backyard four elk were passing through. These were all young guys. Onc stopped to munch on a tree we had just planted. Kadizzle explained to him the trees were not snacks. Fun to be so close to these guys in the yard. They don't seem to mind people at all, in fact landscaping is hard here because of the beast. The elk are a real bonus to living here. Town people are used to them, but Kadizzle never lived where elk were traipsing through the neighborhood. Down the street Falisca saw a bear.  It will be fun living next to the wilderness. Of course there can be a rattlesnake now and then. Amos the contractors dog was struck by a rattlesnake over the weekend.  He is recovering just fine.
